A modern take on the traditional Japanese card game Hanafuda, featuring both competitive multiplayer and solitaire with intuitive gameplay that's easy for beginners to enjoy.
The developer filed this on the Steam store page. It is not a guess by active.games.
Some illustrations used in the Arcade Mode (beta version) were created using a hybrid workflow that combines hand-drawn artwork and generative AI-assisted editing. The developer first creates original pencil sketches by hand, then digitizes and edits them on PC. Generative AI is used only to assist with draft refinement and background adjustments, followed by additional manual editing in image software. It has not yet been decided whether these illustrations will be replaced with fully hand-crafted versions during or after Early Access development.
