About the Game

In a long dead kingdom, a young dragon has unleashed a primordial gloom that swallows anything it touches. Your quarry lies now in the heart of the kingdom; Can you endure the monsters that lurk and halt the spread of the dark?

Gather your companions. Hold tight your faith. Acquire new strengths and venture into the endless night. 

Holder of Place is a roguelike auto-battler card game. Each run you are sent deeper into a strange and fading realm, where you alternate between intense combat encounters, strategic follower choices, and unpredictable event opportunities — all leading up to a final confrontation against the Dragon.

Along the way, you meet random casts of followers with unique traits, and must decide who to RECRUIT into your party. You ARRANGE them so that they open up different paths of synergies and strategies. You WATCH them fight waves after waves of increasingly difficult adversaries, beasts, past nemeses, and sometimes... even yourself. 

Wanderer, roam through dreadful dreams, ancient battlefield ruins, arcane cult enclaves, and beyond. Unearth darker secrets — about your past life and lost love in the kingdom, and the true origins of the Dragon.
