About the Game

Welcome to cheesequest, a game where you have one objective, and one objective only - eat the cheese. But to eat the cheese, you first will need to earn it.



Do you understand?

Survival Card Gameplay


Inspired by games such as Inscryption or Slay the Spire, cheesequest pits the player against an unknown opponent in a series of card battles. The objective is to stockpile food by growing crops or raising livestock, while fending off your supplies from any hostile creature that may be lurking.

Fill your food gauge to win. Be careful - slip up, and you could easily starve.

Gain cards, augment them, and fuse new ones.

Survive. Thrive.
