ByThe plethora of things you can unlock, the challenges you can complete and the composition of a very nice and moving story, form a title that you will enjoy.

By Dae JimIris has the ability to overcome her inner demons when she accepts help from others. I think that’s an important real-life lesson, get help when things become too hard for you.

By Evan BeeIf you’re feeling depressed or anxious, why not join Iris as she journeys through the mind to crush these very feelings?
Nindie Spotlight
By Justin NationIt's quite remarkable how deck-building roguelikes have become quite a force to be reckoned with in the past year or so, but given the strategic challenge and pick up and play friendliness of them it's not hard to understand...
NintendoWorldReport
By Jordan RudekThree difficulty modes, the hardest of which is unlocked after completing the main dungeon, two secondary dungeons after the first, and dozens of cards, enemies, and more to unlock give the game some real staying power. The watercolor aesthetic and haunting soundtrack contribute beautifully to the endearing story and satisfying gameplay. Some menu issues and the inability to adjust difficulty level within a save file shouldn't hold back another strong contender for a spot in your Switch library, especially those craving that "one more run" loving feeling.
