The game is another [mystery addition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmas-of-dark-stories) under Brigg's belt and it is described as a "third-person card-slinging occult noir [stealth sim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hitman-world-of-assassination)." It is a game that follows a character named Lady Luck, who was previously an [occult detective](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forensic-investigation-game) who is working to track down and defeat her former coven. The noir character goes to Steeple City with a cursed deck -- she lost her left hand the last time that she came in contact with her fellow witches. The deck features cards that each have a unique ability including the Hex card, which holds onto a hidden enemy.
