Our take on Call of the Abyss
The game replaces a conventional action-adventure descent with card-based progression. Encounters, discoveries, and useful supplies sit within a roguelike structure, making the journey through the abyss feel more like a sequence of evolving card-game challenges than a standard combat expedition.
