Four moments

Four moments to open.

Every round, what's inside the barrel grows. Open early for a sure thing, or wait for more. But a barrel left past its Peak falls into Rot.

  1. The natto spirit at FreshFresh1 ptJust brewed. A safe, early pick.
  2. The natto spirit at RipeRipe4 ptsGrown just right. Solid points.
  3. The natto spirit at PeakPeak7 ptsThe perfect moment. Best value.
  4. The natto spirit at RotRot0 ptsLost to itself. Usually a loss.

Here's a natto barrel. It's yours.

Press Wait to pass a round. Open when the moment's right.

Round 1. Fresh. Opening now scores 1.

One match

Brew. Wait. Open.

Five barrels, three actions a turn. Brew spirits from ingredients and starters, keep an eye on your rival's barrels, and read when to open.

  1. A match: the rival's barrels at the top, your five barrels in the middle, ingredient and starter cards in hand.

    Brew

    Call a spirit into a barrel.

    Combine ingredient and starter cards from your hand. Which spirit you call decides how it grows — and how much it scores.

  2. A natto barrel at Peak, marked one round from Rot, with three actions left this turn.

    Wait

    Each round, the timing moves.

    Barrels show what's left, like "1 round to Rot". Wait or open? Factor in your rival's tricks, too.

  3. Barrel details for natto: Fresh 1, Ripe 4, Peak 7, Rot 0, and the Open button.

    Open

    Open at the perfect moment.

    Check a barrel's four stages and points, then open it. Clear a stage's goal and it's recorded, win or lose.

All screens are from the Android playtest build, in Japanese.

Rot is not the end

Rot isn'tthe end.

A rotten spirit goes blank-eyed, pulled by black threads, its will gone. Usually it scores nothing. But with the right cards, Rot becomes sabotage — or your trump card.

  • Black Koji Miso

    Still scores 3 when rotten — and when it rots, it pushes every other barrel forward.

  • Lure of Rot

    A sabotage card that tips your rival's Peak barrel into Rot. A Wooden Lid stops it.

Ways to play

Brew on your own, as long as you like.

We're building solo play first, so there's plenty to do without ever facing another player.
