About
Viractal is an inventive fusion of strategic deckbuilding and board game exploration set in a procedurally generated miniature world. Players must navigate changing maps via dice rolls, manage a unique 'Trust' system that dictates ally behavior, and engage in tactical turn-based combat where positioning and synergy are key.
Story
Welcome to Viractalia, a charming yet deeply unsettling 'living board game' world watched over by a mysterious, disembodied voice. Amidst toy-like visuals and flickering lights, you must lead a party through a realm where the atmosphere shifts from whimsical to eerie, and where the loyalty of your companions is as uncertain as the roll of a die.
Gameplay
Movement is governed by dice rolls, but strategy prevails as excess rolls convert into 'Dice Points' for powerful enhancements. Combat blends card-based skills with grid positioning, requiring you to adapt to the unpredictable quirks of your party members. The core loop balances risk and reward, forcing you to choose between safe paths or dangerous, treasure-filled detours.
