It's one of the best ways you can support us! 🙌

Well, that and telling your mates!...or performing an ancient dark ritual the likes of which mortals have never seen. Up to you!

Expose, endure and expel evil from innocents on your hunt through a corrupted city. As Noah, former priest turned demon-hunter, you'll perform exorcisms, forge precarious alliances and strengthen your deck of arcane tricks in this unholy roguelite deckbuilder.
