About This Game

Your life is a wager in Cheat Death, a roguelite horror game of strategy and mysticism. Navigate a cursed hex board, wield a hand of arcane cards, roll the dice and risk your soul to unravel the grim mystery at the heart of Death itself.

In Cheat Death, you will:

  • Build a powerful hand from occult cards found on your journey. Each card is a stolen secret or a forbidden tactic, giving you a fleeting edge against the inevitable.

  • Embrace the chance to seize victory. Rolling dice unleashes raw, unpredictable power, offering high-risk, high-reward opportunities to overcome impossible odds—if you're willing to bet your life on the outcome.

  • The path is littered with eerie encounters and spectral pleas. Each event is a story waiting to be written by your choices, offering terrible bargains and glimpses into the grim world you are trapped in.
