About the Game

A deckbuilding roguelike that uses dice instead of cards, and preparing for a run is just as deep and strategic as the run itself. Become a beast hunter in a dark medieval fantasy world where humanity is locked in a brutal struggle for survival as a species. Study your enemies and uncover distinct strategies to defeat every foe.

Features

  • Dice as the core mechanic. Every battle is highly variable, and success depends on how well you manage probabilities.

  • Every enemy is a challenge. Each beast is designed as a turn-based tactical puzzle. Before you can consistently defeat even a common foe, you’ll need to study it and find an effective path to victory.

  • Plan your run. Carefully choose your equipment and starting loadout depending on which character you play and which beast you are hunting. You must consider not only the strengths and weaknesses of your final target, but also the potential dangers along the way.

World and Story

Welcome to a grim medieval world where humanity has yet to claim dominance over rival species and must fight every day for survival. Discover the story of beast hunters who risk their lives in pursuit of knowledge beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The release version of the game will include

  • 160+ skills, which allow for more than 4 quadrillion possible builds for each hero.

  • 50+ pieces of equipment. Smart selection of your starting gear is key to future victory.

  • 40+ types of monsters to hunt.

  • 7 hunters, each with their own playstyle and unique mechanics.
