And it lives in you…
Granted a stay of execution, you have been consigned to the strange institution of Gloamrot University: a school for the eldritch arts. New to the world of Pact-sworn—individuals who have been touched by an eldritch entity from the realm beyond—you have been given only a single semester to pass the Trials at Gloamrot and prove that you can control the evil within.
Take the role of Tarot as you explore an enigmatic campus hidden in a dimension of eternal gloam. Master the eldritch arts via the ancient ritual of Kamifuda: a dueling system whereby Pact-sworn channel echoes of long dead powers dormant within arcane cards. And uncover a conspiracy, which threatens you and every other soul at Gloamrot, before it is too late.
