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.
