Voice of Cards: Beasts of Burden

This is a strategy role-playing game in which players follow the story of a teenager protecting her village from monsters. As players progress through the story (depicted with cards representing characters, maps, shops, story text), they engage in turn-based battles against fantastical enemies (e.g., skeletons, large insects, slimes). Players select attack moves from a menu and watch as cards strike each other or use elemental attacks (e.g., flame, lightning). Some of the text describes violence in dramatic detail: "...[Y]ou carefully begin slicing into the worm's stomach”; “You can barely stand to look at their mangled corpses”; “Blood oozes out of a gapping wound on his back.” Some female creatures are designed with revealing outfits (e.g., low-cut tops, deep cleavage, partially exposed breasts); a handful of male creatures are depicted nude, though with no discernible details (i.e., no genitalia).
