Fresh hands and stacked combos
Each character plays multiple cards a turn, then draws a completely new hand next turn. You spend the turn linking attacks, buffs, and movement into combos, and spend points to redraw when the draw is not quite right. You drop a weak card, redraw into the piece you need, then play the rest in order. With over 100 cards to find, the fun is shaping each deck around what that character does best.
Any card on any character
Decks are not locked to their owner. Any character can use any card, so you trade cards freely between allies to build distinct playstyles. Each ally arrives with their own cards to weave in, and you choose up to 4 party members to bring into battle. Leveling up lets characters equip more items, but every item has a cost, so you balance the loadout against the points you have.
Grid battles in a pillow world
Fights play out in turn-based battles on varied terrain, where position matters and enemies can use the landscape too. Your foes are fluffy pillows in many forms, and the tone stays light and silly around Neru's rush to stop the Dream Eater. Between fights you explore dream islands for treasure and cards, recruit allies, and search off the main path. The pixel art keeps the retro look, colorful and cute.
Good to know?
Do you draft a new deck every run?
No. Decks persist across the story. You find cards during the journey, keep them, and refine each character's deck and equipment over time rather than starting over after each loss or win.
How many characters can you bring to a fight?
Up to 4 party members per battle. You recruit more allies along the way, so you can swap the lineup to suit the map and the decks you have built.
What does the redraw system do?
It lets you spend points to replace cards in hand. If a hand lacks damage, movement, or setup, you pay to cycle cards and shape a better hand for that turn.
Who are you fighting to save?
You play as Neru, who has little time left to learn Reverie magic before the Dream World collapses. The goal is to assemble a team and defeat the Dream Eater, mostly by fighting pillow enemies.
