I played for like an hour on my first run, convinced I was exploring a decent amount, getting close to finishing my first story, discovering all the cards for my deck. I was lying to myself. I discovered 28 cards out of what looks to be 70-100. and that was for only one deck. i haven't even gotten close to being done with this game and already am i excited for more

Hello, this is Text Mercenary! I'm truly honored to hear that you're already excited for what's next. To be honest, most cards in the deck are actually stat-based enhancements, but they're definitely still well worth collecting! I have more weapons and free stories on the way, so stay tuned. Thank you so much!
