Each quest begins in a remote cabin, where a mysterious dealer lays out cards and you draw them to learn which encounters, choices and rewards lie ahead. When a card leads to a fight, the game switches to real-time third-person combat, making it part card game and part action RPG.
You earn new cards by completing quests and choose which ones go into your deck, which shapes the encounters you face. Quests can be replayed with different draws, so it suits players who like the unpredictability of tabletop adventure books combined with hack-and-slash action. Single-player with full controller support.
