## Description

Torn from your world. Trapped in a high-tech bunker. Do whatever it takes to find a way back home. One second you are
living your normal life, the next you materialize inside a cold, sealed bunker full of malfunctioning defense systems
and hostile entities. You know exactly who you are and what you can do, and your profession is what keeps you alive.
The first story of the Protectors of Balance series.

### Key Features

- Your Profession Is Your Deck: Start as a Developer, Nurse, Mechanic, Scientist or Electrician and turn real-world
  knowledge into combat synergies.
- Tactical Card Combat: Physical attacks, shield protocols and elemental hazards (fire, lightning, acid), paid for with
  energy that refills every turn. Enemy intent is always visible.
- Cut to Win: Every deck holds exactly one copy of each card, and the shop removes cards as well as adding and
  upgrading them.
- Procedural Bunker Crawling: A new branching layout every run, with the map seed on the end screen so any run can be
  replayed.
