Watch “Catharsis Board Game - Solo Playthrough: Tenzin vs. Holy Assassins,” a gameplay video for Catharsis from GetTheTables on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by GetTheTables on YouTube:
Took one of my favorite chars for a spin against a new (to me) Boss Deck, the Holy Assassins!
Really fun Boss Deck to run through with some brutal mechanics in it. Ran into a few rules questions along the way (including one card I need to look at again to parse out how to resolve it) but nothing too major. This moment is just the raw footage of the playthrough so hopefully those moments help show what to do when moments like that come up, and when I get clarification I'll post it here or in the comments for reference.
Apologies if the lighting isn't the best. I'm still trying to figure out a solution that lights everything enough without causing serious glare (especially since I have everything sleeved). Likewise, don't mind the mess of cables and such on the left side; price of trying to get everything in frame!
Enjoy!

About Catharsis, from BoardGameGeek:
Catharsis is a solo & cooperative board game for players who are heroes trying to stop one of the many corruptions spreading through the lands. The game requires strategy, cooperation, and a touch of luck to succeed as the party fights through traps, monsters, and more.
Each game is a different experience as each hero has a deck of powers they draw from, creating unique synergies every playthrough. Moreover, the players must hunt down a boss by progressing through its Boss deck, a unique deck of cards for each boss and randomized for each game. The players must carefully balance using their skills and creeping closer to death with burning through their morale and giving up in despair.
