FAQ

What’s the difference between the desktop client and the browser version?

The desktop client has full-quality particle effects (380 .pex ports rendered native), spatial audio, faster page-flip animations, and a built-in offline AI opponent that doesn’t need the GPT bridge. The browser version is mechanically the same game with simpler effects + the server-side AI opponent.

Will my browser progress sync to the desktop client?

Yes. Sign in with the same email + your spellbook, dust, chests, and stats all carry over. The server is the source of truth; the desktop client just talks to it.

System requirements?

Modest. The Korge engine targets ~2018-era hardware. Any machine that can run a browser well will run the client well.
