›Story

The spirits have gone mad and are assaulting the humans throughout the land. You, the Wanderer, one of the ancient protectors overseeing the relations between humans and spirits, have been awoken to find the source of their anger and restore balance, with the help of your praying cards. Explore a world full of mysteries, enchanting landscapes and mythological creatures, and face unrelenting waves of hostile spirits that will try to prevent you from discovering the secret behind their uprising.

Thanks to the praying cards in your hand, you will be able to influence the outcome of the fights, but you'll have to do it swiftly: since all of the action is happening in real time the enemies will attack you as soon as they can, whether you played your cards or not. No need to rush into the melee though, for the boosts you give to your character carry on between the fights, so take your time to wisely select the cards you will take with you on your journey.

Start to uncover the secrets of this world: Seek the answers to the mystery of the sudden burst of violence displayed by the spirits, and unveil a part of the truth about the roots of the world you wander.
