Description

About the Game

Step into the myth-shrouded lands where the hunter Ro begins her journey to bring her son back from the dead. Immerse yourself in the depths of the Spirit World, fractured into 4 realms and scarred with 13 distinct regions. Confront over 30 enemy types and harness the potential of more than 160 cards, forging unique archetypes and a multitude of powerful combinations. A dark journey awaits you, spanning 25+ hours of gameplay, with numerous enthralling side quests and grim boss battles.

Craft over 160 cards and fashion synergistic decks that focus on poison, strength, sacrifice, retaliation, backstabbing, blocking, movement, and more. Discover shamanic totems with unique effects to enhance your deck. Each new element allows you to tailor your tactical style as you prepare for your next deadly encounter.

Face a host of restless spirits - Skulldogs, Crackle Bursts, Woeful Seashrooms and more - in grid-based battles where each move is crucial. Test your wit by fighting unique enemy types, powerful bosses, and mini-bosses, all while taking into account environmental hazards and boons. Grow stronger, adapt your deck, and choose your battles as you explore a vast world filled with dangerous challenges.

In forgotten lands shrouded by myth, Ro - a hunter from a small tribe - is overcome by grief following the death of her beloved son. Guided by voices from another world, she transcends into the realm of spirits, in hopes of bringing him back. Meet strange spirits and help them with quests and challenges that affect your deck – although not all of them may have your best interests at heart. Discover a mysterious world of forgotten lore, where darkness whispers secrets and invites you to unearth buried memories.

Great story, great gameplay, great soundtrack, great everything. I can't sing it's praises enough. If you like any kind of card combat based roguelight (think Slay the Spire) you will ADORE this. Buy it, and thank me

I put roughly 20 hours into my playthrough, but the game crashed while I was adjusting my deck and my save file vanished. This is a serious bug that undermines the whole experience. Hopefully the developers address

A true masterpiece of a deckbuilder. The way the different realms work with card acquisition and deck construction combined with the exploration, is really well thought out. It is rare to see a game so elegantly

Very solid deck builder that forces you to keep refreshing your deck with new cards given by each zone you visit. Some gripes that I have are the material caps feeling way too high for the zones, as by the time I

This is an incredibly amazing game. Although some players complain about the grind, I personally think this high-skill-ceiling deckbuilder is absolutely brilliant. You can clearly feel how unlocking different cards at
