Exorcise the infernal and exact vengeance in this unholy roguelite deckbuilder from David Gaider and Summerfall Studios. The city teems with demons and among them lies your prey: Malys, a demon of extraordinary cunning and power. As you pick your path through the city, you'll encounter its denizens - some friendly, some not so much, and some possessed by demons that you'll need to exorcise. Use your deck to expose the rot within. Find unique combinations and strategies to withstand the miseries. Help the hopeless and free the possessed, or die in the attempt... over and over again.
As Noah, former priest turned exorcist and demon hunter, you're armed with your faith and a variety of tools ranging from the holy to the dark and arcane... but you'll need much more for this hunt, and there will be precious few allies to provide them. Written by David Gaider (former BioWare Lead Writer on the Dragon Age series and Creative Director on Summerfall's own Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical), Malys is our unholy roguelite deckbuilder, with a beautifully hand-illustrated style.
Your cards reflect your actions - invoking holy and ancient powers through prayer and chanting, or equipment like holy water and purified salt. In order to play cards, you must burn cards first to light candles - making every hand a series of strategic decisions and sacrifices. Succeed at exorcisms and receive a reward of Faith, a currency you can spend along your path. Use it to add, upgrade or remove cards, heal your Will, or buy Curios, run-long passive effects that add both power and different ways to play. Improve your strategy and chance of success. Fail, die, and try again.
