Hey, so I had this idea about 3 and a half weeks ago — what if you were a grim reaper fighting gods, but through bureaucratic deathmatches using a card system?

It's a singleplayer deckbuilder — you pick one of the preset decks (building the deckbuilder function right now!) and try to raise the enemy's “mortis” to 100 by playing stuff like "Overdraft Spike" or "Final Filing". The bosses are randomly generated from adjectives/domains like “Howling” or “Fire” and play their own cards against you every turn.

There's no mana or energy system — mortis is the cost. You spend it to play cards, but if yours hits 100, you lose. So it’s kind of a constant pressure system where every action matters.

I launched a demo this weekend on Itch and would love some feedback — even if it's just "I didn't get it" or "this part was confusing." I’m trying to make something that feels unique but still understandable without a long tutorial. I reckon I'll do a tutorial eventually, I just want to see if the game is understandable without any hand holding, measure what it's like off the bat, if you know what I mean?

You can try the demo here, there's a form on the page for feedback.

If you do check it out, thank you — and if you're working on something of your own, I’m happy to try it too.

P.S. Made a trailer for it too! Not much of a video creator, but check it out if you're on the fence
