VOLCARIS: Ashen Secrets is a card-based roguelike strategy game where you have no time to catch your breath. Gather resources, craft equipment, collect artifacts, and command survivors in a deadly race against nature.

A shipwreck has washed you ashore on an unknown island. You barely have time to come to your senses when a mysterious woman points to a raging volcano: "We must hurry if you want to survive!"

The island is under the rule of the cruel Keeper, and you have to find out which of your allies can be trusted, and who is playing a double game. Escape these ashen shores without falling victim to enemies, weather anomalies, and the inevitable eruption.
