Gameplay:

Choose one of the four Beheaded. As you are resurrected with very little clue of what’s going on, you will...

• Explore Biomes: Choose your path wisely within a sprawling, ever-changing castle!
• Will you upgrade one of the character powers with a scroll?
• Will you find the hidden runes that will open new paths and access new biomes?
• This won’t be a walk in the park, though, because the island is infested with the abominations born from the Malaise, be ready to…

• Kill Enemies: Each character class has unique power sets and a deck of action cards.
• For each enemy encounter, you will only need to pick one action card to cover all three phases of a fight.
• Loot equipment, gold, scrolls, and Cells from the corpses of your enemies and get stronger, but beware...
• Your health pool is limited and sooner or later you will...

• Die: Wandering through enemy-infested dungeons isn't the safest activity.
• There will eventually be one monster too many, or you could step on a fatal trap and lose all your scrolls, equipment, and accumulated gold.
• But this is far from the end for you!
• Even in death, you will be able to keep your precious Cells to…

• Mutate: The Collector will let you spend your Cells to buy permanent mutations that will give you more power... forever!
• Choose cards to buy from three different decks: Brutality, Survival, or Tactics.
• Get action cards to enhance your card deck.
• Find blueprints to grow your loot deck.
• Increase your health pool.
• Unlock additional item slots and much more… but Death is no excuse to take a nap, so...

• Repeat: Death is not the end either!
• You’ve already lost your head, remember!?
• As the day starts again in a new loop, use your new permanent mutations to exact revenge on whatever killed you last time.
• Go further and deeper into the island and kill the bosses to access new starting biomes.
• Previously-played biomes keep changing as stronger monstrosities spawn in them, along with powerful new items.
• (Damn! Will this game ever end?)
