About the Game

"The train crew welcomes you to Pandemonium Line. Next stop: Hell.
Oh? Wanted to head somewhere else? Well see, this is a train,
there's no way we're changing direction anytime soon."

By boarding this train, you have unintentionally intertwined your fate with the web of a Bird Eater, a spider-like demon that steals the faces of its bird-shaped passengers and stamps their souls into coins. But your soul is not lost yet! As you can always sign a job contract with the hand that holds it hostage.

Inspired by the likes of One Step From Eden and Mega Man Battle Network, Pandemonium Line: Flipping on Borrowed Dime is a grid-based Action-Roguelike Deckbuilder with the unique mechanic of the coin flip. Follow the train conductor Rien, through this gothic clock punk train, while the demon she made a deal with flips coins to decide the success (or lack of success) of her attacks.
