Card-en-Ciel is a JRPG take on roguelike deckbuilders, with a full story, over 300 cards each with unique characters, 50 full vocal songs, and a 6x3 playfield for strategic depth. Take a look at the many systems in store with this deep dive into the gameplay of Card-en-Ciel.

Freely roam around dungeons and battle the enemies you choose. You'll take control of Neon, a self-professed detective who specializes in crimes in full-dive VR games. When an in-development game is suddenly overrun by countless characters from other games old and new, Neon has to delve into virtual dungeons to stop them.

Each of the over 300 cards you'll collect features a unique character from those games. They come alive with full English and Japanese voice acting, talking with their friends and foes and reacting in battle.

Recruit powerful Muse cards who begin performing when you meet their conditions, activating unique effects to enable your most degenerate combos.  Each Muse sings a different song, created with respect to the era and genre you would expect from their original game, with 50 vocal songs in total.
