About This Demo

This demo offers a focus on the first Circle of Hell: Limbo. Experience the core systems of Beatrix before the full descent begins.

  • First Circle, Limbo — Explore the Tutorial and the full first Circle of Hell.

  • Board-Wide Strategy — Enhance your run with 35 Canones ("Canons") (board-altering effects) and 15 Reliquiae ("Relics") to discover.

  • Positional Combat — A high-stakes "Surround and Flip" system. Encircle enemies to trigger a Card Clash, testing your Potentia ("Power") against 3 enemy types and 2 Elite variants to seize control of their units.

  • Verdict & Growth — You are the judge. Defeat Charon, the Custos ("Guardian") of Limbo, and pass sentence to unlock new build possibilities and forge your moral path through the afterlife.

  • Diverse Starting Archetypes — Choose between 2 distinct Genius archetypes to anchor your strategy.

Hell is in a state of unrefined chaos. As Beatrix, you have been summoned to the Circles of Hell to uncover an anomaly rotting the afterlife. To restore order—or dismantle it entirely—you must master the Psychomachia ("battle of the soul"), craft a lethal build of Canones ("Canons")—powerful effects that alter your battlefield—and survive a descent into the frozen heart of Treachery.

Enhance traditional deckbuilding with the Canones ("Canons") System, a deep board-build strategy. Canones ("Canons") are persistent effects deployed at the start of battle to redefine how the board functions. By selecting a starting Genius archetype and collecting rare Reliquiae ("Relics"), you can layer these effects to trigger massive chain reactions. Whether you're enhancing card values or automating Regiones ("Regions") conquest, success depends on your ability to build a board-wide strategy that works for you.

Inspired by the spatial logic of Triple Triad and Othello, every card placement is a high-stakes bid for territory. Encircle your enemies horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to initiate a Card Clash, testing your cards’ Potentia ("Power") against the damned and Custos ("Guardians"). Win the confrontation to flip enemy units to your side, using their own strength to seize control of the board. A single clever move can turn a crushing defeat into a total takeover of the field.

Your journey through the Circles of Hell is a reactive experience where your decisions physically alter your power. Encounter a cast of eerie NPCs and grotesque Bosses rendered in a striking, dark-eerie aesthetic. Upon defeating the Custos ("Guardians") of Hell, you act as judge: your verdicts and your moral convictions dictate the growth of your build.

No two runs through the afterlife are the same. With 22 Major Arcana cards to power up and over 100 Canones ("Canons") and Reliquiae ("Relics") to discover, the tactical possibilities are infinite. Navigate through the Circles of Hell, each featuring unique environmental hazards and story-driven encounters that reveal the truth behind the anomaly. Unlock new Genius sets, hidden paths, and multiple endings as you refine your mastery over the laws of Hell.

  • Board-Wide Strategy — Enhance your hand with the Canones ("Canons") System. Deploy persistent field effects that automate your strategy and redefine the rules of the board.

  • Positional Combat — A high-stakes "Surround and Flip" system that takes inspiration from Triple Triad and Othello. Encircle enemies to trigger a Card Clash, testing your Potentia ("Power") to seize control of their units.

  • Verdict & Growth — You are the judge. Defeat the Custos ("Guardians") of Hell and pass sentence to unlock new build possibilities and carve your path through Hell.

  • Diverse Starting Archetypes — Choose your Genius to anchor your run, then layer rare Reliquiae ("Relics"), Canones ("Canons"), and Tarots to create unstoppable chain reactions.

  • Infinite Replayability — With 22 Arcana cards to evolve and 100+ Canones and Reliquiae to discover, every descent offers a new puzzle in spatial logic and board optimization.

  • A Visceral, Reactive Inferno — Explore the Circles of Hell in a dark-eerie aesthetic. Navigate story-driven encounters and environmental hazards that lead to multiple narrative endings.
