Didn't know anything about this game, my sister bought it for me as gift. Thought it was a fun little card based roguelite without much of a story that I could spend a few hours on now and again. I was very wrong.

One of the most phenomenal rougelikes ever made and as for what's under the surface, I shall not say but it's just as, if not more fantastic as what's on the surface
