About the Game

Blackjack Descent is a tense psychological horror roguelike where the classic rules of the card game are twisted and turned into a deal with fate. You find yourself in a dark basement casino, where not just the bank, but your life is at stake. Every night, you must sit down at the table against a sinister dealer to pay off a mounting debt.

Key Features:

  • Maniac Dealer.

Unlike classic Blackjack, the dealer doesn't follow fixed rules. He'll do everything he can to prevent you from winning...

  • Infected Deck.

The deck contains "infected" cards. These violate the standard Blackjack rules, alter point values, and trigger horror events, creating the effect of a "living" and hostile deck.

  • Charms and Amulets.

To increase your chances of survival and victory, purchase talismans and amulets of four rarities (common, cursed, ritual, and ancient). Each provides its own buffs during gameplay.

  • Two outcomes.

Your actions influence the ending: complete all six nights and pay off the debt in full to achieve the good ending and escape the room, or fail and become part of this cursed place in the bad ending.
