About the Game

The constellations that once protected the sky have begun to be consumed by the Night's darkness. You, a Priestess of Light, are the only one who can drive it back. For the people trembling beneath the dark sky, stand against the God of Night, and banish the darkness.

Create Stars

Use cards to place and grow stars in the dark sky, pushing back the darkness. As stars grow, their brightness increases, illuminating a wider area. Restore the constellations before the darkness completely swallows the sky.

Lift Curses

Some constellations bear a deep curse left by the Night, and they cannot be restored until their curse is lifted. You can purge the curse by meeting its break conditions, but be careful as there will be harmful effects while breaking the curse. Once it's lifted, you'll receive a Blessing card that helps you finish the remaining constellation.

Light Score

As you place and grow stars, you gain Light Score. Each time your Light Score reaches certain thresholds, it grants useful buffs. But if a star is destroyed or shrinks, you lose light score, which can trigger debuffs.

Deck Management

At times, disruptive cards may be added by negative effects, but fear not. There are cards that allow you to remove or even draft new cards. Remove what you don't need, and build your deck to complete your strategy. Even after a run ends, you can earn new cards to expand the range of strategies for your next challenge.
