❤ Core Gameplay Mechanics

You control a lone black king wielding a double-barreled shotgun, navigating chess boards by eliminating white pieces while dodging checkmate. Each turn demands a critical choice: move, shoot, or reload, creating a pulse-pounding strategic dance where one wrong step means instant defeat.

❤ Strategic Chess Foundation

Traditional chess movement rules govern piece behaviors, challenging you to anticipate enemy moves across multiple turns. Understanding knight jumps, diagonal bishop attacks, and rook lines becomes crucial when you're the sole surviving piece facing a growing white army.

❤ Roguelike Card Progression System

After clearing each floor, you select two cards - one benefiting you, another empowering white pieces. These might include: shotgun upgrades like 'Engraved Scope' reducing bullet spread, soul cards enabling unique piece-mimicking movements, grenade abilities, and pawn promotion modifications. This dynamic system ensures every playthrough feels dramatically different.

❤ Combat Mechanics

Your limited-ammo shotgun demands precision. Players must calculate exact bullet trajectories, piece positioning threats, reload strategies, and potential counterattack risks.

❤ Difficulty and Challenge

Fifteen increasingly complex difficulty levels test your tactical adaptability. Throne, Endless, and Chase modes provide varied challenge experiences, each requiring nuanced strategic thinking.
