Designed for Clarity and Flavor

The first roguelike TCG to focus on card clarity to distinguish strategic positioning, flavorful interactions, and crew-based roles for a seamless PvP and PvE experience.

In the search of the power of the Philosopher’s Stone you will be urged to push your Crew to their physical and emotional limits. Pay heed though, for under the continual burden of combat and travel, if pushed too far, your sanity will be tested.
