How it feels

A strategic card battler where you make tactical decisions in a dark, atmospheric post-apocalyptic world, facing distorted enemies through turn-based solitaire-style combat.

What players say

Players praise the solitaire-meets-RPG combat but note the gameplay grows repetitive after the midpoint. The game is compared favorably to the developer's Shadowhand and Forbidden Solitaire, though some find it has more RNG. Playtime averages around 12-15 hours for a full playthrough.
