❤ Unique Gameplay Mechanics

The game features a unique "rolling health" system, where player health gradually decreases over time rather than being a static value. This encourages players to end fights quickly, rewarding quick reflexes and strategic play as they try to minimize damage. Alongside health, the game also introduces "sanity" as a secondary resource. Certain enemy attacks and events can impact the player's sanity, leading to unpredictable effects that can disrupt their strategy. Maintaining a balance between health and sanity is crucial for success.

❤ Deck-building and Character Variety

Players can choose from multiple playable characters, each with their own unique playstyles and skill sets. This allows for a high degree of replayability, as different builds and strategies will be effective for different character archetypes. The deckbuilding itself is robust, with over 200 unique skills and talents for players to discover and incorporate into their decks. This gives a wide range of options for players to experiment with and find synergies between different card effects.

❤ Challenging Progression and Difficulty Scaling

The game is known for its high difficulty and steep learning curve, offering multiple difficulty settings including a "Corporate Hell" mode that ramps up the challenge significantly. As players progress through the game's 9 "Circles of Corporate Hell", the encounters become increasingly complex and the boss fights more punishing, encouraging players to continuously refine their strategies and build more optimized decks.

❤ Blending of Genres and Inspirations

The game blends elements from various genres, drawing particular inspiration from the classic "Earthbound" series. This results in a unique fusion of roguelike deckbuilding, turn-based combat, and JRPG-style visuals and storytelling, with a quirky, satirical tone and retro-inspired pixel art aesthetic that have been widely praised by players.
