To put it simply, it’s a brainier version of card battles games. The roguelite elements initially make the experience quite challenging, but the difficulty drastically drops from the first act onwards. After playing, I wish there was a physical edition available, but I guess it would be hard to keep all the details in mind and buff your cards in real life.

The game is divided into three acts with a few differences in the gameplay. The main dynamics are usually the same, but at times it might feel like playing a whole different game. Still, it’s out of doubt that most of the effort went into the first and final acts. The meta narration also felt surprisingly strong despite relying on a low budget and amateurish live-action footage. The last thirty minutes also feature a lot of material and visual ideas I wish they had fleshed out into a fourth act, if not a separate game.
