According to a post by the developer on Reddit, the game will feature adventure elements reminiscent of narrative-driven games, complementing its strong story focus. Gameplay involves using a limited amount of energy each turn to play cards, balancing the cost of cards, energy capacity, and card effects to reduce the opponent's health to zero for victory.
