About the Game

Immerse yourself in an atmospheric world where Iwa sets out to find her abducted brother!

Enjoy atmospheric, peaceful gameplay and, over time, solve simple puzzles.

Use traps and your own wits to eliminate opponents who are preventing you from finding your brother!

Buy The Mystical Books that strengthen your subsequent expeditions and Skills

to traverse this magical land more effectively!

In the game, you will simply micromanage your Base of Operations, from which you will set out on expeditions. After the first (tutorial) expedition, the game world will be open to you! Over time, you will decide for yourself which of the currently available expeditions to go on. And after completing the campaign's story arc, you will be treated to a “ continuation".

  • Over 65* hand-designed boards, combined into Expeditions.

    Many enemies have more than one appearance model, which is randomly selected at the beginning of the map. This means that subsequent visits to the same location may result in encountering enemies with different appearances.

  • A diverse world that can surprise you at every stage of the game.

    The game world consists of over a thousand elements manually placed on carefully designed boards. Thanks to this, even in the final stages of the game, you can still see new elements of the environment!

  • Dozens of enemies preventing the heroine from finding her brother!

  • Special enemies with unique abilities!

  • Magic Books (artifacts) and Skills to unlock.

    Choose the Magic Book whose bonuses suit you best, or (in a campaign) the one you have a feeling will be good... And purchase its properties in time for your planned expedition.

    Unlock Skills to get the most out of it.

  • Auto-leveling character with associated bonuses.

  • An extensive system of collecting Gems and Scoring.

  • Traps and simple puzzles that help/hinder the search for her brother!

  • Random events tailored to biomes.

  • Customization of button highlighting on boards and the appearance of gems (game options).

  • Achievements with rewards implemented in the game.

  • “Endgame” gameplay.

    It allows you to improve your results on almost all campaign boards, while introducing new mechanics to the gameplay and modifying others!

    Sequential gem collection called “COMBOS.” Collect 3, 4 or 5 gems in a specific order to receive an additional bonus in the form of points!

  • And much more. But you'll discover that for yourselves :)

  • An atmospheric game in the good old style!

    NOTE! - Some of the game features described above are not available from the very beginning of the game. This means that the player will unlock them as they progress through the game!
