About the Game

Relics, poker, and impossible choices at the end of the world: equip your reliquary, loot cursed zones, accept dangerous rituals, and play the best hand you can.

You'll fall.  You'll learn.  You'll come back better.

THE WORLD

After the apocalypse, the heavenly hosts fell — and so did humanity. You are all that remains of the Order of the Cartomancers, barely surviving by scavenging relics just to make it one more day.

But today you've found something far more valuable: the Dark Lord's location. He hasn't hidden himself well — or maybe he simply doesn't fear you. Mistake or trap, it doesn't matter. It's your only chance, and you know it.

THE QUEST

Fight through countless enemies, use whatever you take from them, and sharpen your strategy. Defeating the Dark Lord won't be a matter of brute force. Can you find what it takes to bring him down?

KEY FEATURES

  • Battle creatures of darkness and the Horsemen of the Apocalypse across multiple locations. Every encounter is an opportunity — but also a risk.

  • Discover over 50 unique relics and arrange them in your limited-space reliquary. The difference between winning and losing is knowing what to bring.

  • Build poker combinations with your relics and unlock new possibilities. The further you go, the more powerful your hands become.

  • No two runs are the same: make constant decisions and refine your strategy to defeat the Dark Lord.

EVERY DECISION COUNTS

  • Do you keep fighting for more loot, or save your strength for the next boss?

  • Do you risk a healing ritual, or is it too dangerous?

  • Do you trust that shady merchant promising something unique?

  • Do you use the Extraction Totem to preserve your relics when the odds turn against you?

The end of the world already happened. You have your hand. You have your reliquary.

What comes next depends on how you play it all.
