Read the four survival resources
- Food: decreases whenever you turn a card.
- Health: reaching zero ends the run; later turns cost health after food is empty.
- Stress: grows after the food bar is emptied, and a full bar applies a random negative stat.
- Armor: absorbs damage and is reduced when it protects health.
Resolve a combat turn
- Check every visible enemy's attack and health values before acting.
- Add the card you intend to use to your hand.
- Use a weapon or another supported attack; visible enemies attack after your move.
- Watch weapon durability, because a weapon breaks when its uses reach zero.
- Discard a card only when its hand slot is less valuable than the future options it blocks.
Leave the floor in good shape
A revealed door remains locked until you find a key. Do not treat the exit as the whole objective: food, healing, armor, weapons, mana, shops, and item combinations determine whether the next floor is survivable.
- Use mana for hero spells.
- Grave dust is shown as a card-upgrade resource in the observed demo.
- The Steam description says the full game contains six unlockable heroes and more than ten bosses.
