Vibe's take

Grim and moreish – the poker hands make every draw a small hope, and the boss you barely survive is exactly why you reset the deck immediately.

About this game

A solo dungeon crawl built on poker: you died in a saloon game, and now you form poker hands from a soul-forged deck to blast your way through three gates of Purgatory.
