It also plays great on touch devices through Steam Link, so you can play on your phone or tablet! We are still working on Steam Deck verification, thanks for your patience. Is there controller support? Not yet! We love playing deckbuilders with controllers, so this is on the roadmap. However, with so many menus we wanted to make sure we took the time to make it the smoothest and best experience possible. We will keep you updated on this! Is the game appropriate for all ages?

Launch Questions Answered!

We've gotten some great questions that we'd like to answer here, a little FAQ if you'll indulge us:

Is the game playable on Steam Deck?

Yes! Many of our playtesters play the game on Steam Deck with touch controls. It also plays great on touch devices through Steam Link, so you can play on your phone or tablet! We are still working on Steam Deck verification, thanks for your patience. Is there controller support? Not yet! We love playing deckbuilders with controllers, so this is on the roadmap. However, with so many menus we wanted to make sure we took the time to make it the smoothest and best experience possible. We will keep you updated on this! Is the game appropriate for all ages?

Depends, but we have had playtesters as young as six playing the game (with some reading assistance from an adult!) There is no gore, only cartoon violence, and minimal references to drugs and alcohol from our teenage characters. Younger players might ask you what a slap bracelet is, though. I found a bug! Oh no!
