Read full description

A card roguelike across eight deserts. Run the dunes, dodge the rocks and thorns, and draw your cards when a monster blocks the way. Three cards in hand. The enemy tells you what it will do next. Block or strike — that one choice, every turn, is the whole game. ■ Every desert plays by its own rule Sand Desert — easy to rest in. A good first run. Salt Desert — salt shields you, but the monsters hit harder. Red Canyon — heat burns you every 3 turns. Cool off in the shade. Sandstorm Desert — half of what the enemy plans is hidden by dust. Glass Desert — lightning strikes everyone every 4 turns and leaves Charge. Save it, then let it go. Mirage Desert — phantoms slip into your deck. Turn your losses into strength. Black Ash Desert — healing is cut by 30%. Pay in blood for power. Heart of the Desert — where every desert meets, and every guardian waits. ■ A new deck every run Pick cards after each fight, upgrade at camp, burn what you don't need at the altar. No two decks are the same. ■ Relics The Ankh restores what you lost after every battle. The Storm Compass upgrades your kept card each turn. One relic can point the whole deck somewhere new. ■ Alone, anywhere No internet needed. A run is short, and you can stop any time.
