Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I’ve been busy tinkering away on this game for half a year, and I’m super excited to share it with you now! Early Access is my way of inviting you along for the ride—a chance for me to hear your thoughts and shape the game’s future together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan to keep the game in Early Access until I hit some key development milestones. Expect a journey of regular updates and improvements over the next few months!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the full release, I’m dreaming of an even bigger adventure. I’m looking to add more cards with wild multiple endings, introduce extra playable characters, and fine-tune encounter designs. There’s also a lot of extra story magic and quality-of-life features on the horizon. While these are my creative goals, I can’t promise every detail or timeline just yet.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Right now, the game is in a solid, playable state. You can dive into the core gameplay, enjoy the character interactions, and follow the main story beats without a hitch. For a complete list of what’s on offer, just take a peek at the “About This” section on the store page.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, the price will be adjusted once the game leaves Early Access to reflect all the new content and improvements coming your way.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I’m all about turning this into a shared adventure! I’ll be dropping regular developer updates, hanging out on the Encounter Community Discord, and even running playful polls and surveys. Your input is the secret ingredient that will help shape the evolution of the game.”

About This Game

As fate would have it, you’ve stumbled upon this game. Might as well give it a try. Who knows what you might encounter… ayyy. Get it? Encounter is the name of the game. When I said, “who knows what you might encounter,” it was a play on words.

So, what’s this Tarot thing about? They represent scenarios where you might have to think on your feet, snack on some magical berries, or even get attacked by a [REDACTED]-eating succubus! Fun! But it's not just fate at play—you’ll need to manage your resources wisely, timing your limited actions perfectly as you navigate a labyrinth of twists and turns, and overcome a host of unpredictable events.

Your adventure kicks off with a single crate. What’s inside? Treasure? Trash? A mildly cursed sandwich? Crack it open and find out! From there, anything goes. You’ll encounter oddballs, outlaws, and outright disasters. Duel the friendly neighborhood postman, accidentally infuriate a small child, or face down ambush after ambush—who’s to say? Will you fight, finesse, or just wing it and pray to the RNG gods? Whatever you do, tread carefully—your journey lasts only as long as you do, and the next tavern might be farther than you expect.

In Encounter, Tarot cards shape the events and rewards of your run. Your goal? Gain as much knowledge and wisdom as possible before you go bye-bye.

But here’s the catch—everything is limited. Rare items break, inventory space is tight, and planning ahead is key. Managing your resources is just the start; chaining actions together for devastating combos is where the real strategy comes into play.

If you like roguelikes, inventory management, a touch of deck-building, simple medieval turn-based RPGs with nostalgic pixel graphics, and games called Encounter, then, well… you’ll probably like Encounter!

✔ 200+ unique and powerful items

✔ 100+ adaptive encounters

✔ Inventory management

✔ Deck manipulation

✔ Action sequencing

✔ Mom's spaghetti

Life is unpredictable. One moment you’re stacking wins, the next you’re getting drop-kicked by fate. That’s why you should play this game NOW! If you’re reading this, you’re probably the kind of person who overthinks things (lol)—which means you’ll love the deep yet deceptively simple strategy this game offers!

It’s big-brain if you want it to be, yet extremely easy to pick up and play. Either way, your fate is in your hands… potentially.
