What players say
I went in thinking it would just be funny Roguelike Deckbuilding stuff (which it was, because id have stopped playing otherwise), but the story catches you so off guard, its crazy Very well delivered and captivating
I'm not much of a story guy. But the narrative was incredibly captivating. If the game weren't as fun as it was, I probably wouldn't have finished it otherwise. Highly recommend, also there's mods. Big W.
Charming, interesting, and strategic. There is a lot more than meets the eye in the one. If you like card games, give this one a go.
