About This Demo

Your ship might be held together with duct tape and optimism...

And the mission is probably (actually, kinda likely) a one-way trip. But someone's got to do it!

A Real-Time Deckbuilder

Night Machine is a roguelike deckbuilder…but in real-time! There are no turns. You're piloting a ship through a maze of hostile lunar tunnels, playing cards to fire weapons, raise shields, and keep your hull intact.

Build your deck between encounters, and play your best combos right before time runs out!

Choose Wisely

Expand your deck with new cards between encounters and focus on dealing damage, or make yourself into an unkillable tank, it’s up to you. Powerful Patch Cards can hack other cards, turning everything on its head: multiply effects, boost your boosters or drive your reactor into a frenzy.

The Moon Awakens

For eons, something has been sleeping inside the moon. Now it's waking up: A factory, alien and vast, spinning up to destroy life as we know it. You're piloting humanity's last-ditch attempt to reach the core and shut it down.

New Ships and Mods

Pick from multiple ships, each with different base stats and starting decks. Upgrade your reactor, armor, and weapons as you go. Visit merchants and make strategic choices about what bounty to keep and what to sell.

• Real-time deckbuilding: Play cards in the moment, using your reflexes to take advantage of timing-based effects

• Card Management: Manage your hand, keeping the cards you need from getting discarded

• Patch Card system: Modify cards on the fly for high-reward combos

• Multiple ships: Each with distinct loadouts and playstyles

• Roguelite progression: Unlock new ships and ship mods across runs

Good luck! We're all counting on you.
