How it feels

A tense tactical dice-roller where each roll in a corrupted fairy-tale realm forces careful resource management and risk assessment.

What players say

Players praise the clever mix of Monopoly-like boards with auto-battler and roguelite rune combos, but widespread save-loss bugs, crashes, and missing translations make it nearly unplayable for many. Disagreement is rare: most negative reviews cite the same bugs, while positive ones acknowledge the foundation is there but rough.
