Turnbound, now available in early access, carves out a quietly charming space between autobattler mechanics and inventory Tetris. It unfolds as a tile-based, turn-driven game where mythical heroes find themselves caught inside a haunted board game. One of its more memorable quirks is how the starting player is chosen: by flipping a coin emblazoned with a cat’s behind. As odd as that sounds, it fits perfectly with the game’s gentle, fairy-tale vibe and rich, warm tile art. Instead of feeling jarring, this playful touch adds a bit of unexpected whimsy to the proceedings. It’s refreshing to see a game that includes something as bizarre as a cat’s bum without it becoming a dealbreaker or a reason to cringe. Turnbound manages to strike a balance between originality and a welcoming, rosy aesthetic that draws you in from the start.
