When you finally reach to the party members, you find:The Hero who lost the ability to speak.The Mage who lost the gift of magic.The Warrior who lost his mighty body.… and the Priest who lost ****.You can only carry one of them out. Choose your partner, and escape together.■ Explore, fight, and lean on your partnerChoose your route, then fight in turn-based card battles. Every item you carry becomes a card with a limited number of uses, and enemies show you their next move before they act. Your partner fights beside you: the Hero shrugs off death, and the Priest heals like no one else.■ Weapons hit hardest the moment they breakYou get new gear by taking it from your enemies. Stagger a foe, then land a weapon's final use to trigger a Fatal Strike, which kills the enemy instantly and steals its equipment. Every weapon is at its strongest on its last use, so it often pays to shatter them on purpose, even when supplies run thin.■ Bad roll? Spend a Curse and make it never have happenedEvery shattered item leaves behind a Curse, and Curses let you Defy fate. Rolled the worst possible result? Spend a Curse, and it never happened.

Every death makes the next run stronger.■ Two of you, alone in the dark.
