The core of the game is exploration, conversations with NPCs and completing tasks assigned by them. Equally important, however, are the clashes with opponents, during which we make use of special cards collected during our adventure. The richer our deck is, the more tactical possibilities we have during turn-based battles. The key to success is also the skillful use of the individual abilities of our heroes. The whole is complemented by environmental puzzles, the solving of which often pushes the action forward.
