A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Master the cards.Every room is a life-or-death decision. Enter with nothing but a shuffled deck and your wits. Face dungeons where strategy trumps luck; every card in your deck must be used wisely to escape alive. This isn't about collecting the rarest cards; it's about making the most of what you have, turn by turn, in a relentless struggle for survival.


Each room presents 4 random cards from your deck. One wrong choice could end your run.

  • ♥️ Hearts - Heal with precious potion cards
  • ♦️ Diamonds - Equip powerful weapons (only one at a time!)
  • ♠️ Spades & Clubs - Fight monsters or flee
  • ⭐ Jokers - Trade weapons for healing in desperate moments

The unique challenge? You must play every single card in your deck to escape. There are no shortcuts, just pure strategy, intense resource management, and nerve-wracking decisions.
