Roguelike
Card combat
Board game
Breed your heroes. Build your legacy. Face the end of the world.
The world has fallen, and only a few Seeds of Life remain. In this roguelike card and board game adventure, each run begins with the birth of a new hero.
Again and again!
How a run works
Every generation is born a little stronger.
01
Breed your heroes
Use your limited breeding rights to select two parents, combine their traits and bring a new warrior into the world. Your hero’s stats, gender and genetic quirks are shaped by lineage.
02
Build your village
Genetics matter, but nothing beats good preparation. Construct the Barracks, Tavern, Gold Mine or Ink Mine to unlock unique backgrounds. Growing up near a building grants stat bonuses from the very beginning.
03
Roll the dice
Each hero embarks on a dangerous journey across eight distinct regions, each with its own atmosphere, enemies and randomly generated board. Move across tiles and run into traps, treasure, events and enemies.
04
The path is full of thorns
Face strange encounters, survive odd events and fight bizarre creatures in turn based card combat. Return to the village with your loot, or risk another turn for greater rewards.
05
Know when to retreat
Return home before dying and your hero joins the ancestral pool. Your next child might be their child, or grandchild. Evolve your legacy across generations and inch closer to victory with every run.
