About This Game

Your life is the final wager.

Cheat Death is a roguelite horror game that pits you in a high-stakes tabletop duel against the Grim Reaper himself. Navigate a cursed hex board, wield a hand of arcane cards, and roll cursed dice in a strategic battle for your very soul. But remember: in this game, the only rule is that there are none. To win, you must be willing to cheat.

THE ULTIMATE GAMBLE

Enter a world of strategy and mysticism where every choice is a life-or-death bet. Unravel the grim mystery at the heart of Death itself as you face ever-shifting challenges on a treacherous, evolving board.

Outsmart Death Itself

⚖️ Cheat to Win: The game is rigged from the start. Your only path to victory is to learn the hidden mechanics and pull off daring cheats. Palms cards, manipulate rolls, and bend the rules of reality to claim a victory you were never meant to have.

Risk Your Soul on a Roll

🎲 Embrace Chaotic Power: True power is unpredictable. Rolling the dice unleashes raw, untamed magic, offering high-risk, high-reward opportunities to overcome impossible odds. Will you bet your life on the outcome?

Master the Occult Deck

🔮 Build a Powerful Hand: Collect a deck of occult cards on your perilous journey. Each card is a stolen secret or a forbidden tactic, granting you a fleeting edge against the inevitable. Strategize your plays to outmaneuver a dealer who plays for keeps.

Navigate a Dead World

👻 Face Eerie Encounters: The path is littered with spectral pleas and mysterious events. Each encounter is a story shaped by your choices, offering terrible bargains, powerful boons, and chilling glimpses into the grim world you are trapped in. Choose wisely—every decision builds your legacy... or writes your epitaph.

The house always wins. Unless you cheat.
