No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

A really great take on building a community of witchery in a somewhat unforgiving world. Balances resource production with the need for defences really well. Good use of the Cultist Simulator/Book of Hours style of mechanics. Definitely recommended.

a fun enough cardstacker game if you're into that gameplay wise doesn't really stand out much against others like it, but the art and theme is cute
UkaRecommendedafter 7.3hJul 2026Read on Steam
A cute and fairly simple card/resource management game that I had a pretty good time with!! It doesn't really have a ton of replayability once you've tried all the witches and beaten the final boss a few times, and I think automation is pretty rough near the end of the game when you just feel a bit inundated with everything you have to keep track of. That being said, I picked it up on a 50% sale and had a fun enough...
