What players say

I was pleasantly surprised by this cute, relaxing and unique roguelike deckbuilder. Here you aren't fighting monsters or seeking treasures, but rather helping two nature-loving girls manage their energy levels as they climb different mountains, with the goal of reaching the summit. I'm currently on the 7th mountain and so far it's been quite easy compared to other roguelikes. The card mechanics and trinkets are well...

cute and cozy card game. very simple, didnt lose a single time and only got close to losing maybe once or twice. it has content after the credits roll including a whole extra playthrough with the character who walks beside you of which she has her own cards. do the game i guess has two endings? idk fun game, an easy buy on sale
