- Average play time per run: 5-10 minutes.

- A light, casual, relaxing, card-based adventure game.

- Engages player in a light yet fulfilling narrative, so they aren't overwhelmed by lots of dialogue or exposition.

- The game revolves around a mysterious book, De Vermis Mysteriis.  What is this book?  Why do people want it so badly?  How are your dreams connected to it?  Is it real, or just a fantasy?  So, many questions - can you find out the answers?

- Choices occur every turn and matter, so choose carefully.

- Note: this is not a scary game.  It's devoid of gore or cheap scares.  It's more psychological.

- The game is different each time you play.

- There are a total of 13 different endings, including 2 "happy" endings.

How to play: 

- Events will occur, people will prompt you to answer questions. You must swipe either left or right and left click to pick an option.  Your 4 meters gauge standing with authorities, cult standing, wealth, and sanity.  They can go up or down depending on your decisions.  If a meter runs too low, or too high, you will "lose".  Expect that to happen a lot, the game is designed to be replayed as you learn.  This isn't a conventional game where you win by getting to the end.  It's more of an exploration of narrative.

- The game is heavily inspired by Reigns, which was developed by Nerial and published by Devolver Games.

- No AI assets are used in this game.

Did you get one of the real endings?  If not, you must have been very close.
