About This Demo

This demo gives you a full look at Pluto’s core loop: spellcasting, items, and enemy encounters. You’ll play as the first character, mastering elemental gestures that combine into powerful — and sometimes unpredictable — spells. Expect a full tutorial and about 30–40 minutes of play, representing the early portion of a complete run.

A roguelike deckbuilder where you fight with your fingers, spill some blood, and try to make it to your niece’s birthday on time.

You’re a wizard. A not-so-heroic wizard imprisoned for wizard crime, awoken from your wizard slumber by an invitation from your niece. Escape from jail and traverse a hostile world crawling with danger. Every turn is a frenzy of spell sigils, cracking bones, and desperate gestures as you shred through monstrosities with raw elemental power.

You’re not the chosen one, you’re just trying to be a good uncle.

💀 Master Tactical Spellcraft

This isn’t your usual “play the biggest card” deckbuilder.

Every spell is built from elemental patterns cast directly with your fingers. Recipes can overlap and combine, sparking strategies that reward clever play and experimentation.

You’ll discover emergent synergies not just in what you play, but how you cast it — turning each turn into a high-stakes puzzle full of risk, reward, and happy little accidents.

🩸 Gory, never Grim

• Explore a hand-drawn dark fantasy world of cursed ruins and haunted forests

• Face grotesque and absurd monsters, oozing with menace and dread

• Splatter enemies into charred puddles while outrunning your jailors

You’re not saving the world. You’re just trying to get to a birthday party in one piece — and maybe pick up a card on the way
