Unlock new cards. Come back with a better deck. A CITY RECORDED ON MAGNETIC TAPE Fight through a retro-tech city where lost memories play back as monsters. Low-poly silhouettes, pixel-resolution textures, and modern shaders collide in a world inspired by Dreamcast-era action, late-90s anime cinematography, and a grunge-soaked blend of shoegaze culture and Shibuya street fashion. Chromatic aberration bleeds across the screen. Shadows fall in cool blues. Key moments burn in warm light like overexposed film. As you recover new tapes, the story records itself — cutscenes play back like handheld camcorder footage: degraded, unstable, and deeply personal. Chunky, stylized characters with two-tone shading and razor-sharp rim light Hand-drawn flipbook VFX that snap like lost anime frames Sprawling districts that shift from quiet suburbs to beachside streets to TV-littered city blocks A soundtrack that blends ’90s lo-fi grunge with the alt-rock energy of FLCL Style isn’t a filter — it’s the memory you’re fighting through. Recover the tapes. Rewrite the memories. Find the girl with no face. KEY FEATURES Real-time action roguelike combat Chain melee combos and trigger cards mid-fight without breaking the flow.
