Your soul is on the line. The ritual has begun.

Step into a world of gothic darkness in this tactical, turn-based card battler. Trapped in a cursed ritual, you must command a roster of fallen Heroes and vengeful Undead against a gauntlet of powerful demons. Your goal is simple, yet dire: extinguish the five Demonic Candles before your own three Soul Candles are snuffed out forever.

MASTER TACTICAL COMBAT
Engage in deep, turn-based combat where every decision matters. Deploy your champion, then weave powerful spells by choosing from a random selection of ethereal Glyphs that appear each turn. Manage your hero's health and attack power, represented by physical tokens on the board, and exploit a rich system of status effects like Poison, Burn, and Freeze to cripple your demonic foes.

DEATH IS NOT THE END... IT'S AN UPGRADE
Unlike other games, the fall of a hero is not just a loss—it's a strategic opportunity. Sacrifice one of your precious Soul Candles to resurrect any hero from your dead pile. They return to the fray not only restored, but permanently branded with immunity to the very affliction that defeated them. Will you pay the ultimate price to bring back a hero perfectly tailored to counter your next foe?

Features:

  • Deep Strategic Gameplay: A turn-based card battler that rewards careful planning and clever tactics.
  • A unique life and objective mechanic. Manage your three Soul Candles while working to extinguish the five Demonic Candles.
  • A New Kind of Resurrection: Sacrifice your life force to bring back fallen champions. The choice of who to resurrect, and when, is paramount.
  • Death-Begetting Power: Heroes who are resurrected gain permanent immunity to the status effect that killed them, creating powerful, evolving champions.
  • Dynamic Glyphs: Adapt your strategy on the fly as you are presented with a new set of powerful Glyphs to play each turn.
  • Atmospheric Visuals: A dark, gothic aesthetic brought to life with striking 2D art and mesmerizing materialize effects.

Can you survive the ritual and reclaim your soul, or will your last candle be extinguished in the darkness?
