A whole dungeon fits in one deck of cards. Every room deals four cards. Monsters, weapons, shields and potions land on the table, and you decide what happens next. Take the sword or leave it. Block the troll or take the hit. Drink now, or save the bottle for the fight you cannot see yet. Clear the room, leave one card behind, and the dungeon deals again. No grid. No timer. No filler. Just a table, a deck, and the next hard choice. THE JOURNEY Twelve dungeons run from the flooded sewers under the city to the dragon horde at the end of the world. Each one has its own monsters, its own story and a boss that ends it. Between runs you return to the Fallen Castle City: spend mana crystals in the Wizard Tower, take bounties from the Job Board, and read what you have killed in the Bestiary. EIGHT HEROES The Scoundrel fights dirty. The Barbarian rages. The Cleric heals what the dungeon takes. The Soundweaver plays by ear alone. Every hero brings a spell that changes how a room can be solved, and you unlock them by surviving. BUILT FOR SHORT SESSIONS Quick Play is a single run of classic rules, about ten minutes. Hero Journey is the full twelve dungeon campaign, saved between sessions. PLAYS WITHOUT SIGHT Full VoiceOver support. Every card, slot, attack and result is announced, so the whole game is playable by ear. NO STRINGS No account, no ads, no internet, no data collection. Buy it once and it runs offline.
