Hecatomb

Hecatomb is a mythic deckbuilding roguelike that tests how much you're willing to sacrifice. Every action produces Offerings, which can be relinquished to the Gods in exchange for powerful effects. But which Gods you worship and which you scorn have lasting effects on your journey to the Underworld.

About the Game

Hades, Lord of the Underworld, has abandoned his throne and death has become temporary. As Orpheus, you see this as a chance to be reunited with your lost love, and so you being a treacherous journey to reclaim her from the Afterlife.

Defeat hungry monsters and placate vindictive Gods as you make your way to the Gates of Hades, recruiting Followers and learning Spells.

Every action you take generates Offerings, which can be given to the Gods you worship. Those who cast many spells may seek the favour of Athena, who rewards her faithful with spells unknown. Those who kill in the name of Hades can expect the dead to rise to their command. 

But the road to the Underworld is challenging, and those who cross the River Styx find themselves faced with everything they've sacrificed along the way.
