13 itemsAbout the Game
Step into the shoes of Perdita, as she searches the ever-changing, twisted hallways of The House of Hamelin for her missing cat, Paige. Gather strange cards to build a deck strong enough to fend off the gruesome creatures that lurk in the dark. Collect hair to trade with the old lady who lives in the walls, for valuable items from her junk drawer. Keep your flashlight charged or the monsters will grow stronger.
FEATURES
Turn based combat against intelligent enemies who leverage their own deck of cards.
Build two unique decks at once. In addition to the main Spell deck, you'll also wield a side deck called the Ritual deck. The Ritual deck is a smaller set of cards that are more powerful and burn upon use.
Combat takes place in long, dark hallways that you and the monsters can move around in, at the cost of Stamina. Don't let the monsters catch you!
Explore the creepy atmosphere of Hamelin’s house between combat. Point and click exploration allows the game to be played with one hand, so you can enjoy a sandwich in the other.
Every run is random! New level layout, new enemies, new cards, and more.
Permadeath with meta progression.
