Unique and immersive
Addictive, too. I can’t stop playing it. Don’t let the apparent simplicity of the matching mechanics fool you. There’s a fair amount of strategy across the entire “map”. The story is richly imagined and well-written. It deserves more players!
Update fixed issues, great game!
I really appreciate that the developer revamped the game so that progress is much better. I redownloaded it to start over and I can tell already it’s been greatly improved. Thank you, developer, for listening to feedback and addressing issues, it’s really appreciated. This game is monetized right with no ads or IAP. The design is awesome and the gameplay is unique and fun, the right balance of luck and strategy. There’s a lot to do but it’s not overly complicated, making it good for casual and advanced gamers alike. I like that it saves progress at all times too so you can jump in and out quickly on a break. You’ve done everything right, developer, and I highly recommend this game to others.
Faulty checkpoints ruined it for me
I really liked this game … until I reached a checkpoint. Instead of starting at a checkpoint with your stats as they were up to that point, your level/stats reset, at least somewhat, making you way too weak to get anywhere after the checkpoint, because you’re suddenly way too weak for the strong challenges at that point. I deleted the game, because I have no desire to start from scratch every single time. If this ever gets resolved, I may try it again. This brought the game from 5 to 2 stars for me; I added the third star because the monetization is done right and the idea itself is clever. If it ever gets fixed, and maybe if an endless mode is added as a play option, I’ll try again. It’s not a bad game … just beware of the checkpoint issue, that may affect your experience.
Flawed, has moments
The memory mechanic is far too random and there aren’t enough resources… mostly you’ll randomly die from no energy while randomly clicking squares to find a match. Add more food; add some sort of memory buff so you can reveal cards more quickly.

Awesome Game!
Reminds me of a lot of other role playing rogue likes I’ve enjoyed playing but with its own unique story. Lots of secrets and replay ability in the first chapter. Looking very forward to seeing where this games goes and hope updates come soon :)
Excellent game!
So glad I found this game. It’s enjoyable for casual gamers and experienced gamers alike. You can save at any time, making it easy to pop in and out whether you only have a minute to play on a work break or an hour in your downtime. I appreciate that the developers monetized this so fairly; the price is especially good for such a beautifully designed game. No ads. No IAP. Good on battery. Cool art design. Easy to learn. Presents a challenging but not frustrating experience. You did everything right here, developers, we need more good guys like you out there. Thank you for taking care to make such a good game where the user experience is so fluid and enjoyable. Totally five stars here. I look forward to playing this regularly.
This version provides a fix for a game-breaking crash introduced in the previous version, happening when you visit a familiar-provider while the familiar is with you. The provider should grant you "bond" points, but instead the game would crash. Sorry about that!
