About This Demo

Jargon is a deceptively relaxing deckbuilder where classic word games meet modern roguelites.

Build words on the board, collect powerful books that rewrite the rules, and experiment with wild combos as the game escalates around you. Play Buzzwords to unlock game-changing perks, then adapt as new modifiers and twists pile on.

Between rounds, visit a little bookshop stocked with classic literature, enchanted runes, special stickers, and occasionally bombs.

What kind of bookstore sells bombs, you ask?

What are you, a cop?

Whether you’re carefully crafting clever plays or watching your build spiral completely out of control, Jargon is about pushing systems until they break.

This demo is just the first 6 rounds on the easiest difficulty. The full game includes 15 round runs, 4 game modes, and 5 scaling difficulty levels for each mode.

Features:

• Over 60 books that radically change how words score and behave

• A wide variety of items that enchant letters and reshape the board

• A cozy jazz soundtrack that stays calm while everything else falls apart

Put your wordsmithing skills to the test in Jargon!
