Rescue corrupted books from your library, harness their power and rally their forces to fight for you in this hexgrid tactics deckbuilder! Combine cards to create uniquely powerful spells. With thousands of permutations to explore every turn, no two battles will ever be the same.

Strategy

Your library is infected, books have been corrupted and entire wings of the library are overrun by thematic monsters. Defeat the creatures bound to these books, cleanse the books and reclaim them as powerful allies in your growing collection.

Choose 3 Books at the start of a run. Each book holds a unique set of cards and abilities themed to its content. From blood-soaked hooks and cleavers to cutting words from court jesters.
Battle on a tactical grid, where positioning matters as much as the cards you play.

Every card can be played in two ways:

Primary Effect - Utilise the card as a base spell. This will act as the base which can be empowered by any amount of secondary effects.
Secondary Effect - Burn the card to empower a base spell. These can add modifiers, stat boosts or unique bonuses.

When combined with the tactics combat, this creates endless combo potential, but every decision matters. Cards used as secondaries are also discarded, so care must be taken when constructing the perfect turn.

Each wing of the library is tied to a corrupted book.
Defeat its boss to cleanse the book and permanently add it to your collection.
As your collection grows, so does your ability to craft varied starting decks.
Explore the synergies between books to unlock their true potential.
