How it feels

A tense, choice-driven deckbuilder where every negotiation and battle feels high-stakes, blending dark humor with strategic planning.

What players say

Players are divided. Some praise the dual battle-and-negotiation deck system and how early choices echo later, but many say runs feel short, content repeats quickly, and neither deck is as deep as a single dedicated deckbuilder. The story and world get mixed reactions, interesting premise, shallow execution.
