What makes it special?
Game play is quick, tactical, and vicious, and leans into a horror vibe with strong theming and artwork. Easy-to-learn rules will welcome casual players to the table, with preset decklists ready to play right out of the core set, but card game fanatics will also find a wealth of unique mechanics and a depth of customization options to explore. Everyone can enjoy endless replayability with multiple single- and multiplayer game modes, and lots of deck variety.
- Four factions, each with multiple unique identities representing specific monsters that grant unique abilities and lean into different strategies. Your Faction choice will let you influence your playstyle, but each Identity will give you specific tricks or opportunities not available to others. Which monster will call to you, when you think on slaughter?
The Dark consists of monsters birthed from and feeding upon the deepest fears of humanity, and boast many effects that can disrupt your target's hand, eliminating options and forcing them into difficult and deadly decisions. The Night Hag lets you steal opportunity from your opponents when they draw cards, or the Black-Eyed Children enhance your Attacks or Defenses depending on the relative strength of your hand versus your opponent's.
The Dead have risen from the quiet of the grave, and bring a terrifying, endless endurance to the table, able to shrug off all but the most brutal hits, and able to bring cards you thought you'd gotten rid of back to bear. It is almost impossible to ever truly get rid of the cards used by the Revenant, as it uses its ability to constantly move cards between your Deck, Discard, and Wound piles, ensuring you're never out of your nastiest tricks. The Risen Corpse is, however, much more straightforward in its brutal efficiency, able to enhance its own Defense to withstand terrible blows.
The Unearthly are strange entities, with cards that let them bend or break the normal rules of the game, threatening their foes with strange Utility effects that come at their foes from strange angles and in unexpected ways. The Entropic Predator can literally draw strength from things falling apart, as it gains cards when its ongoing effects are lost. The fearsome Pain Eater is a different foe entirely, sacrificing its health to empower its Utility cards, or destroying its own Utility cards to heal.
The Wild heralds the resurgence of strange and menacing beasts long thought lost to legend, and unleashes the boundless fury of nature in a frenzy of attacks red in tooth and claw. Whether the onrushing fury of a Fell Beast, capable of self-fueling a constant barrage of attacks, or the ominous Werewolf, who gains damage and deadliness as it becomes injured, increasing the potency of every Attack.
- Successful attacks rip and tear cards out of the target's deck, stripping them of the tools they need to fight until they have nothing left. The composition of decks thus changes during play, testing both the strength of your deck design and how cleverly you can adapt your tactics throughout a match.
- An unique point-buy system for constructing your deck, where more powerful cards cost more to include, making your deck leaner and more vulnerable to disruption. Great power comes at a price, and deckbuilding enthusiasts will have plenty to dig into exploring deckbuilding with different identities, mechanics, and card options.
