Reuploaded to fix audio.

We jump right into the game's tutorial, guided by a mysterious dealer with magical powers. Will the Jack of Dust prove to be a worthy opponent, or go down in flames?!

(Spoilers: he goes down like a chump)

The first dungeon is really short, and serves as a gentle introduction to the game. It only has two floors, with two unique layouts they can take on. You're not in any danger of anything yet.

⮞ THE SUIT OF DUST ⮜

Dust are the first of four card suits—the main enemy types of the game. These bandits start with basic melee attacks that come out fairly predictably, easily dodged or countered. They're not much of a threat at first, but it's still easy to get careless and take a hit or two.


⮞ THE JACK OF DUST ⮜
❝In the ruins of an ancient temple, among the eternally shifting sand dunes, lives the mysterious leader of the desert bandits. Infamous for his reign of terror over any spice caravans that dare take their chances travelling through his domain, he rules as a king over the barren lands.❞

Our first boss is the first member of the Court, the twelve named cards among the four suits of the game. He's here mainly to teach about unblockable attacks, but you'll pick up some of the quirks of enemy attack order in this game if you're observant. We'll get more into that later.
