Gameplay

The game is described as having "roguelite action", where each run can be unique. [7] Between levels, the player will encounter characters that offer items, rewards, or minigames. Occasionally, these characters may take something away from the player. [8]

The player can wield three Morsel cards at a time. Each Morsel has its own attack, dodge, and special ability. [9]
