Play as a Dreamwalker and escape a mysterious labyrinth in Onirim.

Fans of solitaire.

Why we picked this?

Onirim is solitaire with a twist. The only way to escape the labyrinth is to gather the eight oneiric doors before the deck runs out. To obtain door cards, either play cards of the same color three turns in a row or discard a key card when a door appears from the deck. Your path to victory is further complicated by nightmare cards, which trigger painful dilemmas when drawn. The game includes a detailed tutorial, stat tracking, and original artwork from the original board game.

You loved the original card game. Onirim is a fantastic digital recreation.

You fear change and prefer classic solitaire.
