Magin is an exciting combination of a narrative-driven adventure game with a deck-building card battler.

Magin: The Rat Project Stories takes place in a dark fantasy world, where magic – or essence, as it is called – is directly tied to the desires and fears of its inhabitants.

Shape the fate of Elester, a Magin and veteran hitman in an underworld syndicate, as well as young Tolen, who is about to realize that he too can use the essence to his advantage.

Step into a mature, magical world standing on the edge of an industrial revolution and utter chaos.

Overcome obstacles, play your cards wisely, and find your destiny in this immersive, story-driven adventure.
