About the Game

Bleakwood desecrates the foundation of chess in this roguelike deckbuilder. Enter a sinister fantasy world where corruption is key to success. Grow stronger with each run by unlocking cards, improving units, and making sacrifices, ultimately conquering your enemies. But remember, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Will you defile your morals to reclaim what is yours?

Chess Contorted

A game reborn, its rules rewritten. Wield powerful cards to enhance abilities and control units - but power comes at a steep price. Every enhancement spreads corruption, and too much will doom your army from within.

Deadly Deckbuilding

The deck is your weapon … and your peril. Manipulate abilities, movement, characters, and the environment. Combine cards for brutal effects that overwhelm your foes with devastating results and dangerous consequences.

Board Bedlam

The board is riddled with devious traps and environmental dangers. Navigate the treacherous landscape and conquer a realm in chaos, or be consumed by it.

Cycles of Corruption

With each run, corruption remains. Build your arsenal of powerful cards wielding dark and evolving powers. Personalize your deck, recruit and reinforce your army, and refine your playstyle. The board will reset, but you’ll never come back clean.
