About This Game

Anime × Playing Cards × Pokémon?

Story Background

You suddenly fall into a world overrun by demons and spirits. Powerful spirits seize all blessed sacred lands, while feeble lingering ghosts can only struggle to survive. A newcomer like you would normally not last three days...

"Hmm? You aren't supposed to be here..."

Fortunately, Meng Jiang, the Shop Mistress, saves you. She teaches you to harness the power of ordinary playing cards for battle—on one non-negotiable condition: you must defeat and hunt powerful demons to repay your debt. Whether out of gratitude or obligation, you resolve to set off on your journey...

Game Overview

  • 🌸 400+ Skills & Maiden Forms: Every spirit takes the shape of a maiden with unique skills. Seal, trade, obtain their souls, and merge as one with them. (In this world you have lost your physical form. You must "fuse" with spirits’ souls to regain a body.)

  • 🍀 Skill Combos, Adventures & Special Events: Mix‑and‑match skills freely. Multi‑chapter procedural stages and bosses bring distinct challenges every run. Random anomalies and events may also trigger.

  • 🌠 Voices & Music: Lively battle voice‑line systems paired with an extensive soundtrack enrich your journey.

  • 🌌 Sealing & Pacts: Much like Pokémon, every spirit can be sealed. Fight them down, or use sealing talismans to attempt instant sealing and pacts.

  • 💝 Affinity & Evolution: Raise affinity with spirits through constant use. At key moments, they evolve, unlocking powerful new skills and appearances. ("Make full use of me.")

Battle: Dialogue of Cards

As a gamer, battles are conversations between cards. Devise unique skill combinations and use your wits to challenge enemies with varied mechanics.

You may also encounter occasional special events during combat, requiring choices based on the situation.

An extensive skill system awaits players to explore.

Voices & Lines

Beyond the dialogue of cards, spirits constantly chatter and attempt to communicate with you.

Rich music accompanies battles to enrich your journey.

(More polished lines and voice acting will be available in the full release.)

She rambles‑‑cute at times, annoying at others, caring, snarky, even mocking. Will you be amused by her, exasperated by her absurd antics, or angered by her disdain?

Highlight: Seal and Pact with Hundreds of Spirits

Boasting over 400 unique skills and appearances, each tied to an individual demon spirit. These beings are mystical beasts infused with cosmic essence, phantom sprites, fragments of legendary tales, or lingering regrets of the departed... Each bears a one-of-a-kind design.

You can either vanquish them outright or claim them via sealing, forging an eternal soul bond. Naturally, full-strength spirits cannot be sealed easily without weakening them first.

"But spirit is not made for defeat. A spirit can be destroyed but not defeated." Those bound to you by pact may grant you blessings someday, for your souls once intertwined. Moreover, the Shop Mistress is eagerly waiting for you to complete the Tome of Spirits, a record documenting every demon spirit in the realm.

Core Features: Unlock skill evolutions and build close bonds

Many spirits have evolved forms. Usually, after constant use and fighting alongside you, spirits will grow closer to you and evolve into more powerful forms.

Rule: Red or Black

The game adopts an original playing card gameplay system named Red or Black.
