About the Game

Through a turn-based summoning ritual, you'll have to play your cards right, to dominate the creature while empowering its Strength, Power and Toxicity. The more powerful the creature is, the bigger the reward but the deadlier the risk. Death is permanent, so be careful about your strategy : You may regret going down the path of madness ...

"That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die."
- H.P. Lovecraft

Pitch

« Inspired by dreams, you embody a master of the occult arts aiming for the Ascension, a ritual supposed to elevate yourself to the rank of Divinity.
