About the Game

Gamble your way out of debt in Debtor's Prison! This roguelite card game has you trying to escape crushing debt inside a corrupt prison system designed to trap you in financial ruin! Build powerful melds inspired by Rummy rules, manage your deck, earn flavored ramen by completing Bingo objectives, and collect contraband that can reshape your entire game strategy. Every run requires you to balance between short-term survival and long-term gains. Chase massive payouts at the risk of catastrophic financial ruin, or play it safe and hope those minimum payments will get you out of debt.

Everyday you'll deal with compounding interest at an escalating rate, driving you further in to debt, and the Warden isn't likely to make your life any easier.  Fortunately, you have Red's Library Cart and Andy's Ramen Exchange to get you the tools you need to put together powerful synergies with your debtor's specific features and talents that allow you to score big!

Features:

  • Build melds inspired by the classic Rummy card game!

  • Add and remove cards from your deck to tilt the odds in your favor!

  • Complete Bingo card objectives to earn Ramen

  • Spend Ramen to participate in the prison economy

  • Contraband items with game-changing synergies

  • Escalating debt and interest systems

  • Multiple Debtors with talents that provide a diverse gameplay experience.

  • Several Wardens who change the rules of the game.

  • Multiple strategic paths and combo-heavy runs

  • A prison economy where every decision matters

Fortune favors the bold. Pay up or stay down.
