About this game

A card RPG where even heroic deeds need an official stamp. One divine filing error lands you in Oakford. Build your action deck, read enemy intentions and find your own fighting style – amid absurd quests, dry dialogue and dangerous bureaucracy.

Spiders? Officially replaced by unicorns, if you prefer.

A group of darkly dressed adventurers stands in a moonlit forest before a gigantic, outrageously cute unicorn with huge eyes and a rainbow mane.

Enable Unicorn Protection in the settings: clear spider imagery throughout the game is replaced by outrageously cute unicorns. Names, text and gameplay remain unchanged. The dignity of Duskwood does not.

Your deck. Your fighting style. Your questionable decisions.

Build your own fighting style around a compact action deck. Read enemy intentions, combine attacks, parries, techniques and spells, and develop your hero freely across Warrior, Mage and Assassin paths. Hybrid builds are expressly permitted. Sensible choices are merely recommended.

Keep your loot. Move on. Discover the next absurdity.

Between battles, explore regions, resolve multi-part cases, take on questionable jobs, and improve your equipment, alchemy, smithy and hero's home. Defeat does not erase your journey. Retreat, prepare, and return with better tools or a worse mood.


Explore two major villages, several regions and the deep dungeon. Take on 26 main cases, repeatable hunts, tavern adventures and special assignments – all the way to a complete endgame. Officially approximate.

Try it first. Your adventure comes with you.

The free demo gives you a taste of the world. Your demo save automatically carries over into the full game – no need to reapply for previously completed heroic deeds.
