"Sometimes people ask if Knockout City is the real name of the city, or does it have a secret name? This city is called KNOCKOUT CITY! The art was created to show how the brawlers make the city their own." - Eric, Narrative Director of KO City on this postcard in the Velan office

This is the Flameskull card from our Wildcards party mode. When equipped and used, you take control of its flight for a limited time. Great for things like: + Scouting + Diversions + Collision resulting in a discharge of flames - NOT hitting teammates What happens next here? 🤔

We made it to yet another weekend, y'all. Party at Wormwood Mansion and B.Y.O.F.

PRO-Pro Tip: Orrrrr you can also choose to use the vendor as a diversion to get the drop on someone else.

We made it to the weekend, y'all! Party at Wormwood Mansion and BYOF.

We swear it's not a horror game, but this is definitely something you may encounter when playing our game. It's a mannequin you can deploy. 🙂 EMERGEN-ME. 🙂 And it works. 🙂

Pro Tip: The vendor offers helpful items, but it's also noisy, animated, and bright (tag a friend who matches that description)—even with the flashlight off. Risk management is a must. #indiegames
