About this game
[ Characters ]
Park Mujin/Esper
"What am I, your d*mn puppet? Sit when you say sit, go when you say go?"

Alpha energy commands the room and you.
Once he marks you, it’s game over: obsession begins
Beast-like instincts, especially scent
#ObsessiveTop #SizeDifference #DarkTop

Seong Yebin/Esper
"The military’s looking for a way to end the Creature crisis. I believe you’re the key."

Control freak
Strategic brilliance
Smiles when he's about to destroy you
#BeautifulTop #SchemingTop #PshycoTop
------
Han Gaon/Guide
“Even if it hurts me… I can’t just ignore someone suffering right in front of me.”

Mature beyond his years
Brilliant, but chooses silence over action
Carries the exhaustion of someone who's seen too much

[ STORY ]
When I finally opened my eyes after seven years,
something was straddling my body… moving against me.
Han Gaon wakes with a shard of meteorite buried deep in his chest.
The world he knew is long gone. Now, monstrous alien creatures called "Creatures" fill the skies, the land, and his vision.
Among the infected, only a rare few are born with the ability to suppress the creatures’ power and unleash supernatural strength.
They’re called the Awakened.
The battlefield belongs to the 'Espers'— men with power, driven by madness.
And the only ones who can calm that storm… are the 'Guides'.
Men who wield power. And men who know how to handle it.
In a world where bonds are forged through submission, desire, protection, and obsession,
survival depends on one thing—
needing each other completely.
------
Meteorites fired by alien Creatures to invade Earth pierced the atmosphere and crashed across the globe.
From the Gates opened by the impact, parasitic monsters poured out relentlessly.
Due to the Creatures seeking Earth's life force, almost all of Korea has been devastated.
The survivors scattered across the country, forming new survival orders through factions like the Awakened guilds New Tiger, Daybreak Dragon, and Taeul,
military organizations such as the 710 Commando, the S.E.M.A Research Institute,
and those who belong nowhere—the Wanderers.
Why did I gain these powers…?
The truth of this chaotic world lies hidden
within the shard embedded in my chest!
[ Game Description ]
Draw cards at random to build your own deck and join the battle.
Each Esper card is paired with a Guide card.
When you include a connected couple in your deck, they unleash even greater power.
In a battlefield where madness and pleasure collide,
you must fight alien creatures and find the most effective pairings to survive.
Between battles, a dangerous and provocative story unfolds—
centered on the protagonist Han Gaon, and the tangled fates of Espers and Guides.
Uncover the secret behind the meteor fragment in his chest and fight to save a world in ruins.
