## Description
Perdition's Mouth: Abyssal Rift is a cooperative dungeon crawler that swaps dice for strategic decisions. You and up to five friends control doomed heroes on a suicide mission: descending into the world's darkest caverns to stop an ancient entity from awakening. The game uses an action wheel (rondel) system that forces tough choices—every move matters as monsters react with relentless AI. The campaign progresses through linked scenarios where your victories (and failures) echo in future sessions. No luck: combat is resolved via cards and resource management, demanding team synergy. Expect claustrophobic tension, painful sacrifices, and the kind of victory that leaves more scars than cheers. Plays in 30-180 minutes, depending on your group's bravery (or desperation).

## FAQ
### Does it play well solo?
Yes! Solo mode lets you control multiple heroes against the monsters' AI.

### Do miniatures need painting?
No, but they come unpainted (ready for customization). Assembly is required.

### How does it differ from other dungeon crawlers?
Zero dice: everything uses cards and action wheels, focusing purely on cooperative strategy.

### Is the campaign lengthy?
6+ linked scenarios (each takes 1-2h). You can save progress between sessions.

### Is it beginner-friendly?
Only for very determined newbies. The 3.8/5 weight expects tactical game experience.

### Is there language dependency?
Minimal: just ability names and event cards. Easy to memorize.
