Draft of Darkness is a survival horror RPG with deck building and roguelike dungeon exploration. Recruit allies, synergize their decks to create powerful card combos. Manage your limited resources and explore procedurally generated maps to determine the story's outcome.
Draft of Darkness is a roguelike RPG in a post-apocalyptic setting with survival horror, deck building and resource management mechanics. Choose a survivor, build your starting deck, and delve into the darkness! During your journey:
Each card in Draft of Darkness can be used by equipping a type of weapon. Determine your strategy by building unique decks combining cards from different weapon types. Each weapon has unique mechanics that can be mixed and matched for insane combos!

Find friends and foes lurking deep within the dark corners of the Residence, lurking in the shadows of the Streets, or even victims of the Lair's hostility. Manage the status of your party, avoid radiation and infection at all costs!

Delving into the dark and dungeon-like maps will see you face a variety of infected and gruesome foes. Every successful combat encounter adds to your darkness level, the higher the darkness the more dangerous the stage becomes. However, survive the darkness and you may be richly rewarded.

At the end of every run, even if you fail, you will receive credits that can be used to open booster packs to unlock new starting cards for your next run. Every death is a chance to try out new strategies!

Draft of Darkness has a unique "meta-story progression" system, where every decision can alter the outcome of the story and allow for new ways to progress. You might try different choices on your next run, but be careful. Some have serious consequences.
