Spell it out, then cast.
Not a deck you play. Spells you spell. You move across a Japanese kana board to trace each incantation while bullets fly. Loved in Japan at 97 percent, but it has no English yet, so the West cannot read it.

01First, the one feeling
- A longer spell hits harder. But the whole time you trace it, you are wide open and the bullets keep coming.
- So you split your choices by the moment: short fast spells, and a gambled big spell.
- Then you finish a dangerous big spell in a gap in the bullets. The instant it lands, a chill runs down your spine.
02Who this is for (and who it is not)
For you
- You love building roguelites and want the thrill of executing, not just assembling
- You sank time into Slay the Spire but want the situation to move in real time
- You want to touch a gem the West has not found, buried by language alone
Not for you
- You need a polished, English-first release right now (no English yet, the wall is language only)
- You want fully turn-based reading at your own pace (this mixes in real-time bullet dodging)

Spell Tonaeru Buried gem
A roguelite where you do not just build spells, you spell them out by moving across a Japanese kana board to trace each incantation while bullets fly. Very Positive in Japan at 357 reviews and 97 percent, but it has no English support, so the West cannot read it yet.
Give it your first passSlay the Spire The origin
The origin of collecting and building your kit run by run, reading the situation, and choosing what to play. This gem keeps that, but you must physically cast each spell on a board in real time while dodging.
