About the Game

Monster girls have invaded the local card shop...? It's up to you to collect and play your cards to satisfy their desires...

CARDnal DESIRES is a casual rougelike card game, where the aim is to create the best hand to satisfy any incoming monster girls. Collect currency to unlock card packs and continue your run. Collect special Face Cards that are able to apply unique Status Effects such as hypnosis or heat that persist throughout an encounter.

Keep your run going by balancing the cost of new packs with the risk of taking on harder encounters.

Types

Monster girls come in different 5 types: Furry, Mecha, Slime, Devil, and Jester, each with their own card suits that are either weak or effective on them.

Scene Viewer

Playback all of your favorite scenes in the Scene Viewer by unlocking them during your runs. Mix and match different accessories and faces, and bodies.
