A tense, tactical card-based RPG where you manage a secret society against oppressive church forces and corrupting magic.

What players say

Players describe a digital board game where you race against a clock with limited actions, drawing cards and rolling dice to survive. The randomness is divisive, with some calling it frustrating and others finding it rewarding after the learning curve. The fixed map and formulaic missions draw complaints of repetition.
