Read the full game description
Onoda is a solitaire card game about survival and resilience in the Lubang jungle after the Second World War. Across six rounds of variable length, the player gathers rice and other resources, moves between areas, and attempts a mission that can preserve honor or deepen the danger. Push-your-luck decisions continually trade progress against health, paranoia, companions, and the strength of Onoda’s squad. The final outcome reflects both survival and the human cost accumulated across decades of resistance.
