How it feels

A minimalist, turn-based deckbuilder that feels like a thoughtful and tense journey through a dreamlike, symbolic world.

What players say

Players praise the emotional story about mental health and the distinctive father-daughter relationship, but many report the game is abandoned by developers with crashes, missing textures, and unsolved bugs. The roguelike deckbuilding is simple and addictive for some, while others find the difficulty spikes frustrating or the gameplay repetitive.
