About This Demo

Manipulus is a thrilling deck-building, choose-your-own-adventure game with rogue-like mechanics and perma-death. Trapped by mysterious forces, you are made to relive your past, guiding a band of survivors through perilous times.

As a Manipuli general, form strategic defensive lines and manoeuvre your followers to activate wild abilities to defeat the oncoming monsters and lead your band to safety. Re-play your cards, re-live your actions, and fight to keep your refugees alive in this dark and captivating adventure.

It's time to FORM THE MANIPULUS!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Demo Experience includes 1-full run leading to your first boss fight. There are many different story nodes to experience that means even with the demo multiple runs will lead to many different experiences and different bands of survivors.

There are several mysteries to explore even now while in the trapped portions of the game. However the true nature of what's going on will only be possible to experience in the full release. 

There is a rudimentary save system so you will be able to continue from where you left off.

Manipulus is a indie project by a solo-developer and is presently 2.2 years into development.
