About This Demo

This is a cold, ruthless city ruled by 12 "Astral Guardians." And you are the only disruptor.

Pick up your cards, see through their intentions, and crush their rules!

Climb upwards until you overthrow it all.

⚔️ Fully Transparent Symmetrical DBG Combat

Breaking away from the traditional Roguelike formula where enemies rely on pre-defined scripts, this game features enemies that share the exact same card logic as you: the draw pile, your hand, the discard pile, and energy.

🌌 12 Completely Different Characters

Unlock new characters as you progress through the game, offering twelve distinct combat styles. Each character has their own unique gacha pool and relics, and can also interact with other characters through synergy.

🌌 6 Different Difficulty Levels, 12 Independent Chapters

The game includes 6 difficulty levels from low to high, each corresponding to a different number of chapters, waiting for your challenge!

💔 Survival of the Fittest: Defeat is Also Part of the Story

A meticulously crafted deck ruined by a single mistake? Not here. Health (HP) is no longer the only bottom line; "Faith Value" will serve as your second health bar.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

During the development of Astral Trial, we utilize generative AI tools to assist and accelerate our creative workflow. All AI-assisted content is pre-generated, manually curated, and heavily refined by the development team. Specifically:

- Visual Assets: We use AI image generators to assist in conceptualizing and creating base layers for 2D character portraits, event backgrounds, and certain UI elements. All generated images undergo extensive manual overpainting and editing to ensure they perfectly fit our specific dystopian, mature aesthetic.
- Text and Narrative: AI language models are used as brainstorming partners to help outline world-building concepts, expand dialogue variations, and assist with translation drafts. The final in-game text is entirely rewritten and directed by the developer to maintain narrative consistency and emotional weight.
- Code and Logic: AI coding assistants are utilized to optimize game logic and improve development efficiency.

Please note: Astral Trial does not utilize any live-generated AI content (real-time generation) during gameplay. All assets are fixed and embedded within the game files.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The game features a dystopian setting with themes of psychological dominance, social subjugation, and mature text-based narratives containing humiliating dialogue. It does not contain any visual nudity or explicit sexual acts.
