A poker roguelike with cheating bosses

Play poker hands, turn every card into chips and multipliers, and beat targets that grow without mercy. Every round is a new puzzle; every run, a different deck.

Online duels

Sit down at the House of Souls and play poker for souls, hand after hand: bet, raise or fold, swap your cards and show your best hand.

Online on Steam: find a rival in seconds, or duel a friend with a Steam invite. Against the machine: the six creatures of the House, each with its own way of playing (and of bluffing). A market of arcana between hands, arcana and tarot cards found only in duels, secret potions and a sky that gets stormier as the pot grows.

Arcana that multiply everything

22 arcana, each with its own art, granting chips, mult and powers while you hold them. Some arrive FOIL, HOLO or POLYCHROME. Packs of arcana and constellations: each constellation levels up one of 13 poker hands and lights up in the night sky. A deck of your own: add cards, get rid of the ones you don't want and give them 8 upgrades (golden, glass, steel, ruby, sapphire...). Potions, interest on your savings and deals with a wanderer who never gives anything for free.

Read the tarot

Every three rounds, a spread of three cards: the past, the present and the future. Upright, they lend you a hand; reversed, they hit harder and ask for something in return. And some are simply cursed.

Bosses who break the rules

Every boss bends one rule in its favour, and each one has its own. Learn their tricks, beat them and free the souls they keep. And watch out: there's a new one at the table.

Five ways to play

Classic: endless rounds and an ever-rising target. Daily Challenge: the same deck for everyone. Zen: no defeat, practice at your own pace. Hardcore: a boss every round and a clock on every hand. Duels: against the machine or online.

Win a run to unlock ascents: five difficulty levels in Classic and five more in Hardcore, plus ten scenarios earned ascent by ascent (the infernal ones, only in Hardcore).

And also

51 achievements and a collection that fills up as you play. Your robot companion, the card-muncher, teaches you to play, and has a lot more to tell you along the way. In 7 languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese and Russian.
