About Time Fenix, from BoardGameGeek:

A spiritual successor to Twisty Little Passages that elevates the experience as a full-blown tabletop game with card management mechanics, a non-linear campaign, meta-play strategy, and an all new setting, characters, and story.'Play as Fenix, a warrior sage, protecting a magitek world from an ancient threat with the help of a sentient AI. Manage power levels and resources on your player board as you navigate mazelike areas on laminated adventure sheets with a dry-erase pen. Seek out resources and power boosts, carefully defeat enemies standing in your way to advance, and plan how to defeat floor bosses to reach the powerful Time Crystals. Strategize when to perform mystical meditative actions to draw and play crucial resource cards from your Focus Deck. Time Fenix is a solo-only tabletop campaign game blending puzzle-solving and dungeon-crawling in a richly imagined futuristic fantasy world. This is a fully resettable, narrative-driven adventure where every mission is a handcrafted experience designed for discovery and mastery. With 20 interconnected areas and 59 challenging missions, you'll manage resources, collect powerful cards and items, unlock shortcuts, and battle sinister manifestations, all while navigating intricate mazes that are tightly woven into the mechanics of deck-building, legacy progression, and adventure-write play. As you explore each area, you'll uncover clever paths to boost your score, uncover hidden rewards, and earn Time Crystals to permanently upgrade your stats, abilities, and inventory, and advance the story. Every decision shapes your journey. The game rewards more efficient play and clever meta-gaming strategy and supports adaptive difficulty levels.
