About the Game

Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud, and Treachery

Each dominion is reigned by a ruler embodying the sin of their dominion.

A blend of Dante’s Inferno and Lovecraftian horror. A first-person roguelike deckbuilder using the Major Arcana Tarot Cards to strategize against the horrors lurking in the darkness. Build the perfect deck, challenge each ruler of the 9 levels of hell, die often... and repeat.

Pre-strategize and enhance your cards before battles. Apply sigils and brands to apply multiplying effects and push the odds in your favor.

The nightmarish creatures will catch you in the dark. Use the lantern to bend and manipulate the environment around you as you traverse through the Inferno.

Your sanity will be put to the test.

  • First-person Stealth: Evade the horrific creatures hunting for your soul.

  • Strategic Deckbuilding: Utilize the power of the Major Arcana Tarot Cards and grow their strength as you descend deeper.

  • Skill Trait Upgrades: Gamble your sanity through the underworld’s blackmarket and gain new strengths… if you’re lucky enough.

  • Resource Management: Harness the world’s dwindling soul essences to solve challenges within each level.
