Welcome, newly awakened soul.
You’ve crossed the threshold into the Duat — the Egyptian realm of the dead. Guided by Anubis, keeper of souls and lord of sacred rites, you must walk the path of judgment. Ignore the whispers of jackal-headed guides and shadow beasts. These are only echoes of your former life. They will fade. Hopefully.
Now your true journey begins:
Rebuild your spirit.
Face mythic trials.
Survive divine judgment.
And — if you’re strong enough — rise beside Ra as he battles the chaos serpent Apep and guides the sun through eternal night.
You’ve been dealt a standard 52-card deck — but it won’t stay standard for long.
Master Chains, Block spiritual attacks, and play Gambit cards that twist the very rules of the game.
Draft divine Blessings from the Book of the Dead, barter for relics, and sacrifice what little power you hold to grow stronger… or vanish forever.
Anubis watches. The gods await.
Your fate lies in the cards. Play wisely.
FEATURES
● Roguelike Deck-builder – Build your strategy with every run. Ascend, fall, and return with new cards, blessings, and knowledge.
● Strategic 52-Card Combat – Familiar cards, reimagined for tactical play. Create Chains, counter threats, and stack devastating combos.
● Gambits – High-risk rule-breaking cards let you twist fate — but every choice comes with a cost. What will you give up for power?
● Sacrifice anything – What will you give up for power? Money, Blessings and even Blood, everything is tradeable.
● Divine Blessings – Choose blessings from the gods that alter your build. Passive effects, ability boosts, and unique synergy paths await.
● Mythological Theme – Travel beautiful maps, meet trials, puzzles, and monsters drawn from the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
● A Journey of the Soul – Follow a rich, myth-infused narrative across the gates of the Duat, the river of night, and beyond.
BUILD YOUR DECK, BATTLE THROUGH THE DEAD
Every run is a step deeper into the underworld. Fight smarter, draft better, and master your deck. Do you block now, or build your combo? Do you trade that blessing? or risk it all on your next Gambit?
The Duat changes each time — but the gods are always watching.
ORDER VS. CHAOS
You are one of the few chosen to stand with Ra against Apep, the embodiment of chaos. As the sun sails through the underworld, monsters rise, rules bend, and sacrifices must be made. Your victory keeps the world in balance. Your failure feeds the void.
Good luck, traveler. The afterlife is anything but restful.
