What is Once Upon A Card?
A single-player roguelike deckbuilder inspired by Slavic fairy tales, set in a child's dreams where you face nightmares. Each run combines real-time puzzles with placing rooms on a grid and fighting enemies for currency or cards. You spend currency to expand and upgrade your deck as you progress toward a final boss.
