About the Game

Outplay cheating ghosts in blackjack as a musclebound exorcist in a haunted 1980s hospital. Bend the rules, use powerful items, and expose each spirit’s tricks. Build your deck and survive the descent. Even faith won’t save you—unless you play your cards right.

Descend into a crumbling communist-era hospital where every corridor hides another restless spirit, cursed patient, or crooked dealer from beyond the grave. In this roguelike dungeon crawler, combat plays out through tense blackjack battles where your enemies cheat, manipulate the deck, and twist the rules to drag you into the afterlife.

Fight back with powerful one-use items, passive relics, and game-breaking combinations that let you rig the odds in your favor. Add extra aces to your deck, survive impossible hands, reveal hidden cards, or turn a ghost’s own scam against them.

Each spirit is inspired by horror and pop-culture archetypes, with unique cheating mechanics and personalities to learn, exploit, and overcome. Explore hospital floors filled with strange encounters, cursed rooms, secrets, and relics from a decaying 1980s PRL nightmare.

Features:

  • Blackjack-based combat with cheating enemies and shifting rules

  • Roguelike progression with powerful builds and synergies

  • Consumable items and passive relics that transform gameplay

  • Retro horror atmosphere inspired by abandoned PRL hospitals

  • Ghosts with unique mechanics, tricks, and personalities

  • A musclebound exorcist with more faith than common sense

The dead are bluffing. Don’t fold first.
