About the Game

The Son of White Snake is a dark deckbuilding roguelike that twists Chinese mythology into dark fantasy.

THE TOWER IS ALIVE

Play as Xu Shilin, a scholar who enters the Demon Suppression Pagoda to save his mother. Yet this is no holy sanctuary—the pagoda is the living gullet of a primordial serpent, the Leifeng Pagoda. Every floor you descend drags you deeper into the beast. Here, every battle is a life-or-death choice, and every card carries the weight of destiny.

• Sanity Mechanics — Balance Madness against Obsession for high-risk, high-reward gameplay

• Pagoda Exploration — Node-based exploration woven into tense card combat; the deeper you descend, the more demons and trials await

• Deck Building — Rich card combinations and deep build variety
