Things to note: Taint doesn’t kill (removed if down to 1 life). Sanity goes to -10 only, and cards can still be used. Roll mouse over insanities to see what they do. Creatures only counter attack after you’re hit. They don’t attack direct. Mouse control. Select a card then hit the centre button to play that card. Cards cost sanity to play (green number in the bottom right) – if you run out of sanity then you will go insane.
Each round the computer will go up one rank. Your rank increase is determined by your score. Score well in a round to increase faster in rank. Cards are unlocked every couple or so levels (not every level). Defeat your opponent by reducing their Life to zero. Sanity can be increased by Discarding sanity costing cards instead of playing them.

This game perfetly captures the meaning of Lovecraft's stories: You have no control, you are the pawn of outer beings. The randomness is just a way to drive you insane, because you are not in complete control.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Fun game, i quite enjoyed it. However, some of the challenges left the realm of "game" entirely and just became entirely random events where you either get incredibly lucky or instantly lose.
Challenge 15 was the worst. 10 of the 36 available cards can insta-kill you in that challenge, and the PC gets to draw 5. I played that challenge 116 times. 115 losses, with 72 of those coming on the very first card the PC played.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Core game is fun, but Challenge Mode is a joke. Trying to claim "challenge" in a random-draw system is just pseudo-difficulty. It isn't actually hard, it's just a matter of trying enough times to get the right cards.
