A roguelike deckbuilder where your deck is a box of dominoes. Chain them, paint them, curse them, and build a multiplier that runs away with itself. Twelve floors down, something is waiting on every third one. The stairs keep going after that.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We really want to involve the community in the final stage of development. As a systems-driven roguelike, the game depends on careful balance, and real player feedback is the most reliable way to refine it. During Early Access, community input will directly guide balancing adjustments and help identify and resolve bugs ahead of the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are hoping to release 1.0 sometime in 2027 however this may change depending on community feedback and reception.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan for the full version to be the same game, better balanced. All content is already in the game during Early Access we plan to use community feedback to fine-tune the balance, fix bugs, and polish the experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Refer to the about this game section”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We are not currently planning on changing the price after the early access phase ends. ”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We have an in-game feedback option that will funnel all feedback directly to us to review. We plan on taking all feedback into consideration when making any changes to the game. The more feedback the better, we please insist if you have any please give it no matter how small you think it is!”

About This Game

Every run is a descent.

Chain dominoes across the felt and reach each floor’s target before your placements run out. Clear the floor, pocket your winnings, and spend them on things no honest game of dominoes ever needed.

Paint your bones with strange powers. Collect relics that bend the rules. Reshape your collection with one-shot charms, or uncork a bottled spirit when a promising run starts slipping away.

Then take the stairs.

Make the numbers get out of hand.

A good tile scores points. The right collection makes it a monster.

Stack bonuses, grow your multiplier, and find combinations that feed each other. Collect relics that reward every bone you place, every Warden you defeat, or every other relic in your pockets. Pair them with powers that hit harder as you descend or turn your final placements into a desperate payday.

One good item helps you survive. The right combination makes you stop and take a screenshot.

The stairs push back.

Every third floor, a Warden waits with a rule designed to ruin your plans.

No discards. Hidden targets. A toll on every tile.

Study the road ahead and prepare, or pay a bribe to face someone else. You only get one chance to change the guard.

Further down, the descent curses your bones and turns their score against you. Throw them away, cleanse them, or build a collection that makes the rot pay.

Build crooked. Win anyway.

  • 54 relics, 37 charms, 16 spirits and 13 paints. Turn an ordinary collection into something deeply unreasonable.

  • Negative pips. Red dots drain your score, but curse the right tile and that debt becomes profit.

  • 6 starting collections. Each bag of bones offers a different way down.

  • 8 challenges. Fixed seeds and special restrictions for players who find the stairs too polite.

  • 44 achievements. Earn new tools for future runs.

  • Full controller support. Play with Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo controllers, or settle in with your Steam Deck.

  • Keep descending after floor 12. Conquer the stairs, then see how far your build can carry you.
