About this game

■ A card game built on "you can't pay to win"

Restore the Luminous is a 1-on-1 card game played for serious strategy.
The moment you install it, every single card is yours. There is no gacha.
You never need to spend money to get stronger.

Build decks from a 5-color resource called "LP", pick a leader, and reduce
your opponent's life to win. Every choice during your turn and every card
you cut from a deck shapes the result — this game is dialed all the way
toward strategy.


■ Game flow

- Each turn runs: Start -> Draw -> Main -> Battle -> Main 2 -> End
- Playing cards costs LP. LP grows each turn and fully restores at the start
- LP has 5 colors (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Black). Colored cards need
matching colored LP
- Discard a card from hand to add its color to your LP pool. The order in
which you discard — the "color-fixing" choice — is the heart of strategy
- When you take damage, cards fall from the top of your deck into the damage
zone. Decking out (or other loss conditions) ends the game


■ Five card types

- Leader — your avatar. Each leader has a unique passive that shapes how
you play
- Unit — placed on the field to attack and defend
- Art — single-use effect cards that act on the board
- Stage — a global field effect; only one stage exists at a time, and
playing one overwrites the previous
- Gear — equipment that grants abilities to a unit


■ How this differs from other card games

- Every card unlocked from day one
All cards are yours the moment you install. Build any deck without
restrictions from the start.

- No gacha
No luck-based collecting. The difference between players comes from what
you build and how you fight, not what you rolled.

- The only paid items are cosmetic self-expression
Nothing that affects game balance is ever sold. Card foils, effects,
frames — visuals only.
*No paid features are implemented yet. They will arrive later.

- 40-60 card decks, max 3 copies per name
No color restrictions. Build mono-color for stability or multi-color
for flexibility — the construction space is deliberately wide.


■ Online play and tournaments

- 1-on-1 online random matches
- Room ID for friend matches

■ Who this is for

- Players tired of TCGs built on gacha and pay-to-win
- People who enjoy reading the board and managing resources
- Paper TCG veterans who want serious head-to-head play in digital form
- Players who enjoy the process of getting better at competitive games
- Friends looking for a small-community game to play together long-term


■ Our stance

We believe the fun of a TCG is in the gameplay itself.
Instead of building the game around collecting, we design the collecting
around playing and building. That's why free distribution, no gacha, and
no balance-affecting purchases were settled from day one.

During open beta we incorporate community feedback aggressively.
Reach out on X or Discord — we read everything.
