A simple story is woven from countless tiny knots-it can be a name, a tree, or even a single punctuation mark.
You are one of these knots, born to mend the torn fabric of broken tales.
Created by an Alchemist obsessed with rewriting his own tragedy, you’ve been given a mission:
to gather more knots, to stitch a new ending to his dying play.
But as the curtain rises and falls, perhaps you’ll start to ask- “Why can’t I have a story of my own?”
Every battle is a scene. Every foe is a performer.
The actors you meet were once the brightest stars of their stories, now bound to their fading scripts. Each follows a unique Script Pattern-a rhythm of moves and cards that defines their story. Defeat them, and their fragments of glory will become your reward.
Your creator, a brilliant but broken Alchemist, knows every secret of this stage-including the wondrous card crafting recipes.
Fusion System: As his most promising creation, you wield the power of alchemical fusion-combing different cards in battle to forge new and more powerful effects.
Scars: Fragments of stolen fates. Each scar was torn from another story, still humming with the echo of its past. They grant you permanent power... but sometimes, they remember.
You can craft your own play with enough story knots.
Your ending is not simply success or failure-it is the reflection of your awakening.
Loyalty: Obey your creator. Offer up every knot and claim the "redemption" he promised.
Role: Side with the struggling "actors" and help them return to their original scripts.
Freedom: Follow your own heart. Use every fragment you've stolen to write a tale that is truly, defiantly yours.
Roguelike Adventure: Randomly maps and events-each run is a brand-new performance.
Card Fusion System: Unique alchemy recipe system. Combine basic cards into powerful cards.
Meta-Narrative Storytelling: A philosophical tale of knots, redemption and freedom-multiple endings awaits.
collect & Strategize: Build your deck and gather Scars to craft your own combat style.
