A BATTLE FOR WILLS

Memories are hazy. This is not your home. 

Flittering in the gaps between the deathlike torpor of stasis, you know you are a prisoner.

Distant memories of groves among ruins, and others like you, far from here, keep you whole.

You are freed by an entity you do not recognise, and within moments, you find yourself fighting for your sanity and lucidity.

One of you will break first.

It can't be you.

WHAT THIS GAME ACTUALLY IS

Asymmetrical card duel game where both you and the opponent are trying to be the first to break 3 mental locks, representing your mutual mental barriers.

While your attacker is trying to contort your mental state into weak positions, you have to attack the aspects of his mind that allow him to continue the attack.

Expected runtime of maybe 5-10 minutes. 

TIPS

• Do not let 3 of your (left-most) stats equal the circle targets, or the enemy will break one of your locks
• Drop an enemy stat bar to 0 to break one of his locks
• Break 3 locks to win
• Don't let the enemy break 3 of your locks
• Moving back increases safety, and restores willpower
• Move forward to push the enemy back, so they have less terrain to go back and gain willpower with

Good luck!

A NOTE FOR MACOS USERS

I don't have an Apple Developer license so I would advise looking up this information on how to run the game: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/export/running_on_macos.html#ap...

(Also, I don't have a Mac, so if it's broken, there's not much I can really do to help, sorry!)
