How it feels

A tense and strategic card-battling roguelike where every bullet counts and survival feels precarious.

What players say

Players praise the oppressive survival horror atmosphere and resource scarcity, but warn that micromanaging ammo, batteries, and chemicals can be a turn-off. The game is considered very hard, with some comparing every fight to a boss battle, and a few note basic enemies feel underwhelming on normal difficulty.
