The premise, in the publisher's words
Chess of the Hidden Gates fuses roguelike deckbuilding with the footwork of Chinese chess—every card in your hand is a move, and every move decides who gets taken. The world is a board; everything is a piece. Outmaneuver ancient spirits square by square: victory takes more than raw power—it takes position. The battle of Zhuolu never ended; its endgame lies locked behind the Eight Gates, and you are the last player to enter.
