Hunter Ro enters a myth-shrouded Spirit Realm in search of her deceased son. Explore its regions, encounter spirits, uncover hidden places, and take on quests along the way.
Combat unfolds on a grid in turn-based battles. Spend action points to move and play cards, while positioning around enemy attacks, terrain effects, and hazards.
Defeated spirits provide materials and Death Howls used to craft cards and improve Ro’s skills. Each region offers its own enemies, card set, skill tree, and tactical approaches; Totems add further effects to a deck.
Players who enjoy the game often praise the way its deckbuilding combines with grid tactics: positioning, enemy patterns, and changing decks make battles feel like strategic puzzles. Reviews also frequently appreciate the pixel-art environments and atmospheric presentation, as well as Ro’s story of grief. Some players find the challenge rewarding, while others criticize difficulty spikes, repeated fights, and the effort involved in building new decks for each region.
Step into the myth-shrouded lands where the hunter Ro begins her journey to bring her son back from the dead. Immerse yourself in the depths of the Spirit World, fractured into 4 realms and scarred with 13 distinct regions. Confront over 30 enemy types and harness the potential of more than 160 cards, forging unique archetypes and a multitude of powerful combinations. A dark journey awaits you, spanning 25+ hours of gameplay, with numerous enthralling side quests and grim boss battles.

Discover shamanic totems with unique effects to enhance your deck. Each new element allows you to tailor your tactical style as you prepare for your next deadly encounter.
Face a host of restless spirits - Skulldogs, Crackle Bursts, Woeful Seashrooms and more - in grid-based battles where each move is crucial. Test your wit by fighting unique enemy types, powerful bosses, and mini-bosses, all while taking into account environmental hazards and boons. Grow stronger, adapt your deck, and choose your battles as you explore a vast world filled with dangerous challenges.
