What is Project Node?
Project Node is a focused single-player campaign for PC, not a roguelite and not an open-world RPG.
Every route, encounter, and discovery belongs to one authored journey. Build poker-inspired hands, bend the rules of tactical encounters, and unlock permanent abilities that change how you interact with combat and the world around you.

New abilities do more than make you stronger. They change which strategies, paths, and discoveries are available to you.
The mystery beneath
A hidden island.
A comforting voice.
A simple mission.
Story lives in the places you cross, the cards you collect, the symbols you notice, and the strange details that do not quite fit.

The island is changing.
