About This Game

A brand-new dark fantasy x deck-building Roguelike game
Build your nation and shape its destiny.
In a world threatened by the return of the Abyssal Calamity Dragon, you will play as the ruler of a nation, fighting to ensure its survival.
In the game, you must achieve annual objectives. Otherwise, the world will be devoured by the Abyssal Calamity Dragon.
The game lasts for five years (in-game time).
A year is divided into an Administrative Phase and a Strategy Phase. As the seasons change, your nation must achieve set objectives each year to survive.
Defeating the Abyssal Calamity Dragon in the fifth year completes the normal route.
Strategy Phase: Strengthen National Power
The Strategy Phase is your preparation phase, where you can expand your territory and acquire character cards and facilities.
There are three types of points available in the game: Commerce Points, Industry Points, and Culture Points. Each type of point has different uses, making careful planning essential.
Cleverly combine the effects of character cards and facilities to build a deck that can adapt to the current situation and strategy.
Management Phase: Place Cards and Earn Points
During the Management Phase, you can deploy the character cards obtained in the Strategy Phase.
Each character card has two main attributes: Level and Type.
By creating powerful combinations between cards and facilities, you can earn greater rewards.
You can also equip up to three Zirpower cards in your deck, granting unique advantages and creating powerful tactics.
A unique one-hour national survival experience
PROJECT ZIRCON features multiple endings
The events you encounter and the choices you make will cause the story to change dramatically in different directions.
Depending on the route you choose, victory may require objectives other than increasing military points and defeating the Abyssal Calamity Dragon.
As the game progresses, your player level will increase, unlocking new facilities and additional starting decks.
Adapt to the ever-changing world, respond to unexpected developments, and lead your nation against the Abyssal Calamity Dragon.
