About This Game

Draft of Darkness is a roguelike RPG in a post-apocalyptic setting with survival horror, deck building and resource management mechanics. Choose a survivor, build your starting deck, and delve into the darkness!

During your journey:

Fight infected creatures, government robots, and other survivors in an ammo-focused turn-based card battle system.
Explore the post-apocalyptic city consumed by darkness. Each map is procedurally generated and unique with every run.
Recruit a party of survivors to help you on your journey. Each has their own deck of abilities!
Trade to collect better equipment and cards, which you can use to strengthen your companions.
Manage the darkness. The more enemies you slay, the darker and more dangerous the map becomes. However, Darkness brings rewards.
Make important story-based decisions. Your choices are key to progressing the story.

Unique Weapon Based Combat System

Each card in Draft of Darkness can be used by equipping a type of weapon. Determine your strategy by building unique decks combining cards from different weapon types. Each weapon has unique mechanics that can be mixed and matched for insane combos!

Explore Procedurally Generated Maps

Find friends and foes lurking deep within the dark corners of the Residence, lurking in the shadows of the Streets, or even victims of the Lair's hostility. Manage the status of your party, avoid radiation and infection at all costs!

Survive the Darkness

Delving into the dark and dungeon-like maps will see you face a variety of infected and gruesome foes. Every successful combat encounter adds to your darkness level, the higher the darkness the more dangerous the stage becomes. However, survive the darkness and you may be richly rewarded.

Every Run Matters

At the end of every run, even if you fail, you will receive credits that can be used to open booster packs to unlock new starting cards for your next run. Every death is a chance to try out new strategies!

Every Choice Matters

Draft of Darkness has a unique "meta-story progression" system, where every decision can alter the outcome of the story and allow for new ways to progress. You might try different choices on your next run, but be careful. Some have serious consequences.
