10 itemsAbout the Game
Umblight is a first-person roguelike deckbuilder inspired by Inscryption.
Build a deck of shadow and light cards, merge them into powerful new forms and fight strange creatures as you descend through the corrupted underworld!
Your goal?
Reach the bottom of the world and end the Umblight at its source. This spreading shadow-matter corruption inverts anything it touches, turning good into evil, light into shadow and even the dead back into living.
...But what happens when you go deeper? I mean, the Umblight must have come from somewhere...
Play a tactical, synergy-driven card game
Combine cards, switch polarity, block with light shields or go offensive with shadow cards. Each card in your deck has a purpose, whether it's to stop lethal attack, or to set up a powerful combo.
Specialize your deck around any given tribe, or make a mixed build to exploit multiple playstyles all at once!
Explore twisted worlds of the underground
Immerse yourself in rich 3D spaces of lush forest ruins, gear-filled factories, and desolate deserts home to sacrificial cults... there's always something new to discover in these tunnels.
What can you expect from Umblight?
Deep synergistic deckbuilding and card battles.
A unique playstyle for each tribe, and a new experiment every run.
A disturbing, overarching storyline and secrets that connect your runs together.
