About the Game

A World on the Brink

One half of the world burns beneath the eternal light of Mara. The other remains locked in endless night.

Between them lies the Twilight Zone, a narrow band of habitable land where the last great realms of Humans and Daemonkin endure against impossible odds.

Daemons advance from the deeper reaches of Mara's eternal day. Crawlers rise from the depths below. Ancient powers awaken among the scars of forgotten wars.

As a powerful mage, you must gather allies, master ancient magic, and uncover secrets buried beneath centuries of conflict. Beyond survival lies the truth of what became of this world.

Strategic Deckbuilding and Combat

Every run offers new opportunities to shape your strategy.

  • Collect powerful new spells and expand your deck.

  • Upgrade and transform your cards throughout your journey.

  • Recruit creatures and customize them with unique modifiers.

  • Discover artifacts that dramatically alter cards, abilities, and playstyles.

  • Master tactical battles fought on dual 3x3 battlefields where positioning is just as important as deck construction.

  • Build devastating synergies between creatures, spells, and artifacts.

  • Progress through a roguelite system that unlocks new possibilities even after defeat.

Explore a Dark Fantasy World

Travel through dangerous lands shaped by ancient wars, forgotten kingdoms, and mysteries that refuse to fade.

In the sun-blasted lands closest to Mara, the Daemons grow ever stronger while the realms of Humans and Daemonkin struggle to endure.

Beneath the surface dwell the Crawlers, primitive subterranean raiders driven by hunger and violence. No treaty has ever been made with them, and none ever will.

The Twilight Zone is bordered by vast forests filled with hostile creatures and restless undead warriors left behind by conflicts older than recorded history. Beyond these dangerous frontiers lies a hidden heartland spoken of only in myths and fragmented tales.

Above it all circles the ring moon Toki. More than a celestial landmark, it shapes the lives of entire civilizations. Time itself is measured by its passage across the sky, and countless generations have lived and died beneath its light.

For more than six thousand moons, no contact has existed between the civilizations of the eternal day and those of the distant night. Whatever became of them remains one of the world's greatest mysteries.

Echoes of a Forgotten Age

The world remembers only fragments of an ancient war.

Legends speak of fire, fallen kingdoms, and powers that should never have been awakened. Much of what truly happened has been lost to time.

Yet the scars remain.
