"A witch with no memories seeks her lost powers in a deck-building roguelike RPG!" ■ A Fresh Take on Deck-Building Card Battles Step into the shoes of a witch who wields magic and summons creatures to fight. Use cards strategically in this turn-based card battle RPG. - Summon magical creatures to protect the witch and defeat enemies. - Attack foes with spells, summon creatures, or enhance allies. - Engage in intense, turn-based battles where every decision matters. - Restore fragments of the witch’s memories to unlock new labyrinths and powers. ■ Easy to Play Start a battle with a single tap! Your cards are always at your fingertips. Use mana to cast spells or summon creatures to defeat incoming enemies. But beware—both the witch and her summons have limited health. Protect the witch at all costs! ■ Craft Your Path to Victory Defeat monsters to earn new spells and summoning cards. Customize your deck to suit your playstyle. Adapt to changing situations and craft a unique strategy every time you play. At the deepest levels of the labyrinth, powerful creatures await your challenge! ■ Endless Growth and Upgrades Explore the labyrinth to collect "memory fragments" and restore the witch’s powers. Upgrade spells, strengthen summons, and create the ultimate companion to face the labyrinth’s challenges. Use special encounters like the "Magic Altar" or the "Arcane Shop" to build your strongest deck. ■ Conquer the Labyrinth, Unlock New Powers As you progress, the witch gradually regains her memories, revealing new locations and summoning abilities. Face unique monsters that challenge your every move, and carve a path forward with strategy and courage. ■ Compete Globally in Endless Mode Unlock Endless Mode by reclaiming the witch’s memories and test how far you can go in the labyrinth. Compete with players worldwide—can you become the strongest witch? Share your ultimate deck and achievements on social media! Developer's Note: Inspired by games like *Slay the Spire*, we wanted to create a challenging and replayable deck-building RPG. We hope you enjoy the adventure and would love to hear your feedback to shape our future projects!
