Our protagonist Fyodor sets out to a mysterious cursed island to find a cure for his tribe. On his journey through the island he will encounter a lot of strange characters, many of which he can recruit to his party to aid him in navigating and surviving the horrors that haunt the island. Heavy Wake combines overworld exploration and strong RPG elements with deckbuilding driven combat. Characters you recruit add unique cards and passive effects to your build. But be careful! The island is dangerous and often deadly, and if your party members perish, so do their contributions.
