소개
Control a nascent eldritch horror in this strategic exploration game defined by a unique card-connecting mechanism. Players must navigate swamps, frozen mountains, and human frontiers by extending their roots across a map of cards, balancing the insatiable thirst for blood against the dangers of overextension. It is a roguelite experience where visceral resource management meets atmospheric 'weird fiction' horror.
스토리
Awakened by a botched ritual, you are a sentient root entity abandoned by fleeing cultists. Guided by the mysterious Flora and the entity known as MOTHER, you grow from a forest anomaly into a world-ending threat. The narrative unfolds through your consumption of the living, observing human lives before deciding their fate, all while unraveling the secrets of your own hunger in a Lovecraftian struggle for dominance.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around linking terrain cards to create corridors, using collected blood as the fuel for expansion. It plays like a routing puzzle mixed with deckbuilding; players must hunt creatures to harvest 'organ cards' for supply networks, manage risky water resources, and unlock meta-progression gifts to evolve their abilities between runs.
