A card game spin-off of Delve — same dungeon, different rules. Instead of real-time movement through procedural floors, you build a deck and push through three acts of branching encounters.
Seven classes, each with a ~15-card pool reflecting their roguelike role. Combat is turn-based; energy refreshes each turn; cards go to discard and cycle back. Relics persist between fights. Act bosses drop loot and carry your run into the next zone.
No backend. State lives entirely in localStorage, signed with a Web Crypto SHA-256 hash on every write.
