How it feels

A gentle, introspective RPG where you slowly build a deck of cards from everyday life to confront inner darkness, with a hopeful and therapeutic feel.

What players say

Players praise the charming art and music, and many connect deeply with the game's mental health themes. The card system is cleverly tied to the story, where health acts as mana. However, the game is very short, around 2 hours, with only four battles, and some find it mechanically unbalanced or the main character a bit annoying.
