A chess-based strategy game with casual deckbuilding elements.
In this world, magic is kind of boring. And that's okay.
On wizard island, wizard students play games instead of studying. One of these games involve opening a small portal to the Chess Dimension, where wizard chess is played.
Explore the island! Find secrets, trade cards, and get to know unique characters.
Featuring:
20+ thoughtfully-designed characters with unique personalities, battle strategies, expressive dialogue and backgrounds. You can rematch them and see their strategies and loadouts improve.
100+ unique pieces, tiles, and spells to collect and experiment with. Mixing and matching different cards in your deck provides endlessly creative ways to play with surprisingly deep and emergent interactions.
6 detailed, hand-crafted locations to explore. Characters you'll meet in one location show up in other places and change their dialog as you progress.
A gauntlet where you fight against enemies with randomly generated loadouts.
A black wind blows through your body... Enter a creepy dungeon and build a deck from scratch for an optional rogue-like deck-building experience.
