About
Take control of a sentient virus infecting Winnie-the-Pooh in this unsettling yet strategic roguelite. Navigate the host's biology using Tetris-like mechanics to capture cells and evolve mutations, then unleash grotesque transformations in deep, combo-driven turn-based combat against the host's own immune system and terrified friends.
Story
The Hundred Acre Wood has fallen to a grotesque plague. As the infection, you guide Winnie through a melancholy transformation, reshaping his body and mind into a monstrous entity while spreading the contagion to his friends in a dark reimagining of the classic tale that blends Brothers Grimm grit with twisted cartoon charm.
Gameplay
Gameplay is a distinct fusion of puzzle strategy and card battling. During 'Growth' phases, players place tetromino blocks to capture healthy cells and unlock mutations. In 'Combat', you utilize a custom deck of actions to grapple, strike, and physically reorder enemies, managing body parts and damage types in a high-stakes tactical loop.
