How it feels

A fast-paced card battler that feels like a frantic, improvised scramble through a B-movie horror world, where quick thinking and dexterity matter more than deep strategy.

What players say

Players describe a no-frills roguelike deckbuilder that launches directly into action with no menu or tutorial. Many see it as a cheap time-waster for quick runs, but others find the gameplay monotonous and the difficulty punishing, especially when facing multiple monsters at once. The monster art is criticized as generic.
