How it feels

a slow, tactical crawl through a cursed world where each choice in building your expedition and card deck can mean survival or doom.

What players say

Players say the game is not a deckbuilder but a card battler with an ATB-style combat system. Many note it feels like a mobile game and that support was dropped after July 2024, with updates and bug fixes abandoned. Reviews are split on difficulty: some find it fair, others complain about unfair bosses and forced puzzle-like encounters.
