About the Game

THE ANCIENT SEAL HAS SHATTERED.

The Onryō is free. Her centuries of confinement have erupted into a wave of vengeance that threatens to consume the land. Armed with swords and spiritual rites, three young ninjas from distinct clans must work together to cleanse her recruited Yōkai spirits, survive her onslaught, and guide her tragic soul to eternal solace.

Onryō: Seeking Solace is a cooperative hand-management and deck-building game for 1 to 5 players. Coordinate a team of three ninjas across a treacherous landscape, drafting powerful action cards and acquiring vital tools. Defeat her recruited Yōkai spirits and gather scroll wisdom to build your hands and clans before time runs out, purifying the Onryō in the final showdown. Success requires careful team communication and strategic planning to soothe the spirit's lingering resentment before its wrath overwhelms the realm.

Key Features: Cooperative Hand Management & Deck Building: Strategically acquire cards and manage your hand to resolve spiritual trials and maintain balance. Rich Japanese Mythology: Immerse your table in authentic lore centered around the tragic, elemental fury of the Onryō spirit. Escalating Challenge: Dynamic game states demand adaptive teamwork to counter growing threats and achieve spiritual harmony.
