  • Cards
  • Psychological horror
  • Puzzle

A card game in a dark cabin against an opponent you don't know. Little by little you discover the game hides much more: escape-room puzzles, meta-narrative twists and an unsettling atmosphere. It's best played knowing as little as possible.

Why play it now

When you want something different that makes you think and surprises you. Its chapters work well in sessions of one or two hours.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys mysteries, cards and works that play with the player's expectations.

When not to pick it

If you're after a pure deckbuilder to replay endlessly, or if today you'd rather have something bright and calm.

What it offers

  • Story: 80 out of 100
  • Exploring: 45 out of 100
  • Creating: 35 out of 100
