About the Game

Create the Perfect Team

Each ally has their own ability, event outcomes and synergies...

However, draft carefully: because without knowing how to scale your team to victory, you'll end up as a snack for the bigger threats which lurk further within the woods...

Snappy Runs, Deep Strategy

Beneath the quick pace is a layered roguelite system that rewards planning and adaptability.

  • Runs take only 10 minutes once mastered

  • Build powerful scaling combos as your run unfolds

  • New mechanics unlock over time

  • Easy to learn, endlessly replayable

Map Navigation

Tread carefully, for the forest is fickle... and the fog will always follow. Every tile is a choice.

  • Prioritize the right tiles for your team's needs while knowing when to improvise

  • Watch out for the creeping fog which closes in from the edge of the map

  • Clever decision-making can make (or break!) your run

Easy to Learn, Hard to Master

Deceptively simple rules combine into a game that's both familiar and unique, full of secrets and challenges... do you believe you have what it takes to overcome the enchanted forest?
