—I have blended card game and action game genres to create this unique deck-building game. Craft your one-of-a-kind deck, encounter quirky NPCs, discover powerful cards, make choices at every turn, uncover the secrets of this world bit by bit, and embark on an adventure in this otherworld!
Unconventional Fantasy
SteamThis game combines the gameplay of text adventure and card combat. You'll take on the role of a fantasy entity destined to save the world, choosing cards to build your own unique deck. Random choice events grant you a variety of effects. Will you save everything, destroy it all, or do nothing at all?
Blending card game and action game mechanics into one, this game features an exceptionally unique card combat system.
Players can trigger a dash effect by dodging to evade enemies' attacks.

You can also parry at the exact moment before an enemy attacks to perfectly nullify their strike.

When attacking, players can unleash combo attacks just like in action games by playing cards in the specified order!

Choose and remove your cards with caution! On your adventure, you’ll have the chance to discover more than a hundred unique cards, and decide whether to add them to your deck. Combine and match them cleverly to unleash an unstoppable power where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, defeat all enemies, and forge your own legendary adventure! The world features a complete timeline: you’ll encounter a variety of random events, as well as epic set events that unfold at specific moments. Every choice you make could shift the tide of the situation—save the girl lost to madness, let the enemy security droid go free, or seek out and challenge the ultimate mysteries of this world... After all, you can restart infinitely, so do whatever you want! You can take a break once a year in the game. During this time, you can spend gold to raise your Fantasy Rank and unlock more cards, swap out your equipment cards to alter your resistances or gain special effects, and also restore your health or perform other unique actions.

Over 400 playable cards.
More than 50 unique NPCs. 10+ distinct boss battles.
Over 100 events that may either aid you greatly or lead you to ruin.
