Game Info

Noctiria offers a single-player experience with full controller support and Steam Achievements. Players can choose from six distinct heroes, each with their own potential for growth. The core gameplay loop involves building a deck during each run, carefully reading enemy intentions, and strategically combining cards, status effects, and consumable relics to overcome the night's horrors.
