About the Game

Embark on an exciting adventure of epic proportions inspired by the rich folklore of south-eastern Europe.

In this turn-based roguelike card battler, take the role of a miller’s offspring, their life upended during a vicious raid, and shape their place in a war-torn medieval world.

Find companions to help you overcome adversity, train, collect, and equip your party with better gear to give yourself an edge in the tests ahead.

A Fresh Spin on the Deckbuilding Genre

Your equipment and training dictate what cards are available, how many, and how powerful they are.

Tactical Combat

We fused dynamic initiative, simple positioning, turn delay, and turn-based card play into a rich and rewarding combat experience.

Varied Card Play

Not all cards are created equal; some are actions the characters will take during their turn, while others are reactive and must be kept in hand.

Character Progression

Manage your party's training to better prepare them for the trials that await them. Only through focused training combined with battle experience will they progress from novices to masters of their weapons of choice.

Your actions will determine how people will remember you. Will they sing heroic ballads in every tavern, or will they whisper tales untold about your infamous exploits?

Only time will tell if your stories will become Unsung Ballads.
