Explore a vast and intricate narrative based on nearly 500 "marvel tales" from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, a collection of classical Chinese stories by the Qing dynasty writer Pu Songling. Encounter spirits and mythical creatures, and live the life of people during the closing days of the Ming dynasty. Witness their struggles, hear their tales, and decide how you will shape their destiny in a world filled with intrigue, war, and mysticism.

Enjoy a unique blend of classic turn-based RPG mechanics and dynamic card battling. The combination of randomness and strategy provides endless possibilities for combat and decision-making.

Assemble a party of characters, each with their own unique decks. Arrange your team strategically to build the perfect deck. Find unique cards through exploration, quests, and crafting. The more you play, the more options you’ll have to customize and strengthen your cards.
