Zarlor: Le Sanctuaire des Veilleurs is a single-player roguelite deckbuilder inspired by the wildlife and landscapes of Réunion Island. Players choose a pair of Wardens, prepare a compact deck and follow branching expeditions through four regions. In Sanctuary mode, card-based encounters focus on observing animals, building Understanding and managing Distance and Vigilance rather than lethal combat. Between expeditions, players develop a visible refuge and regional habitats, record wildlife observations and expand a persistent card collection. Animal companions and regional knowledge provide bonuses for later outings. A separate Legacy mode is included in the same game.
From a naturalist refuge on Réunion Island, pairs of Wardens explore highland forests, eastern shores, the Cirque de Mafate and southern lava landscapes. Through observation and respectful encounters with wildlife, they build bonds with the island's animals and bring their discoveries back to a sanctuary that grows over successive expeditions.
