About the Game

Teufelskreis is an occult roulette roguelike deckbuilder about gambling your way out of an employment contract. You place wagers and play tarot cards to manipulate their outcomes. A possessed corporate AI bets against you and corrupts the table, forcing you to meet each quota before your spins, or your life, runs out.

Bet. Spin. Survive.

You're not just playing the odds. Something is playing against you.

Every spin, the machine places a wager of its own. A color, a number, a whole column, or something worse. It means to collect. Spend to overwrite its bet before the ball drops, or gamble that it misses. Guess wrong, and it gets paid.

Build a deck that shouldn't work & hunt rule bending artifacts

  • Draft a card after every encounter and shape your run around what you find.

  • Spend between rounds to buy, upgrade, and cut dead weight from your deck.

  • Hunt & unlock rule-bending artifacts. Permanent objects that change how you bet, spin, earn, and survive.

  • Stack effects until a single spin spirals into an impossible turn.

Chart your route through the Contract

Between tables, choose your path across a shifting map: safer encounters, dangerous elites for bigger rewards, hidden treasures, and rest stops to sharpen your deck before the next clause comes due.

The wheel isn't the whole game

Step away from the table and into the place around it. Solve its riddles, unlock what's hidden, and uncover what's really running through the machine.

The Undersigned acknowledges that they have read and understood the foregoing. The Undersigned has not, and could not have. By continuing, the Undersigned agrees to play.

Termination is the only exit.
