so cool torcado, the mood was so solid, i was immersed instantly, the styling is amazing and I appricate the mystery of the game, from nothing to guide you to even your itch page design that lacks of any explenation, i dig it, congrats!

ACEspionage by LetsSnack 2026-04-22T06:05:32Z ♥ 3

the aesthetics hooked me so easily, i like the world you created and the use of the theme as a card game is really cool. I think there was a lack of feedback to the duel iteself, also it took me a while to understand how to place cards(right click felt unintuitive to me).

but i won, and enjoyed it, congrats!
