How to Play

Basic Gameplay
In , you select a character and progress through 7 procedurally generated Worlds while powering up with various Spells and Artifacts on your way to reach Eden. There are 4 types of Worlds each with their own set of Enemies and Bosses, and learning their movement/attack patterns is key to victory.

Defeating enemies earns you experience and Sera (the game's in-run currency). After every combat Zone, you are presented with a choice between 3 random spells. If you leveled up via experience gained from defeating enemies, you are also given a choice between 3 random artifacts.

(Note: currently the maximum level is 100, though not capped. Reaching it hangs the game at Level Up screen, apparently leaving no choice but to abandon the run.)

At the end of each World you fight one of the other playable characters as a boss. Defeating them gives you two choices:
 * Spare them by progressing to the next World, which earns you their thanks, a 400 HP heal, and their assistance in future Worlds
 * Execute them by attacking them again, which causes them to drop both a spell and an artifact of higher rarities than normal.

World 8 varies based on whether or not you have spared or executed bosses prior:
 * If every boss has been spared, the final boss will be Terrable and fought immediately.
 * If at least one boss has been executed, the final boss will be the Gate to Eden and fought immediately.
 * If every boss has been executed, you will proceed inside Eden and progress through it as a unique 8th World with its own enemy types, before reaching the final boss, Serif.

Tips and Tricks

 * Spared bosses do various things as the game continues. Shiso heals you and Gunner give you stuff an artifact at Campsites; Reva will save you if you would die; Selicy causes damage to enemies at the start of a fight, Hazel summons one basic turret, Terra cracks a bunch of enemy tiles, and Shopkeeper drops you money scattered on your side of the field. If not playing as Saffron, sparing Saffron will use Ragnarok to strike an enemy.
 * Different bosses appear in different areas, so you can easily evade boss fights you hate... for a little while. You'll fight them all eventually. Practice their patterns. The longer you wait, the stronger the bosses become, so you might think about fighting the harder bosses first.
 * Don't be afraid to heal enemies with spell effects; most things that heal (Booster Shot, Cold Medicine) end up doing a more damage later.
 * Set your Focuses by opening your deck and clicking on the two "?" marks over the list of spells you have. The increased chance to get a card from the brand you like helps, but it also decreases your, so you can't get rarer cards that easily.
 * Don't be afraid to skip cards or Artifacts. Just like in other deck-building games, having too much in your deck can be fatal.
 * For late games, try not doing too much damage. The "Damage Dealt" Stat rolls over at approximately 2 billion, when it turns to a negative number. Further damage adds to it accordingly, likely all the way to 0 and above. It may be hard to figure past this point to make it a useful statistic.
