What is Shards of Order?
This single-player dark fantasy RPG follows three heroes across three regions as they seek to restore the shattered laws governing reality. You assemble a shared deck, develop each hero’s skills, equip the party, and make dialogue choices with skill checks. Battles use neither turns nor mana; playing cards changes when enemies act.
