Games Like Borrowed Flesh

When a hero dies, their deck dies with them

A card-driven roguelike of body horror, in the lineage of Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon. Lead a party of broken souls down through three acts of a world that devours itself — from the first descent into the Catacombs and deeper still into the Sanctuary of Flesh, where something vast and starving waits in the dark.

Build your deck. Hold your party together. Descend.

💀 A party that truly dies

Your heroes share a single deck and act as one — but when a companion falls, every card they own becomes unplayable. Lose your healer and the wounds stop closing. Lose your damage and the kills dry up. Death isn't a number on a bar; it rewrites your whole hand on the spot.

🩸 Five doomed souls — pick three

Every run you choose 3 of 5 heroes, each with their own resource and their own way of ruining an enemy's day:

🗺️ A procedural map, never the same twice

Every run reshapes the branching path down — its battles, its events, and the choices that turn the course of your descent.

🧠 Minds break before bodies do

Your heroes see things down here, and they carry them. Push them far enough and something gives: a mind that goes quiet and cruel, or — rarely, beautifully — one that hardens into something better. Some enemies aren't trying to kill you at all. They're working on the ones still standing, and they're patient about it.

🦴 Some wounds don't heal

A terrible blow — or the wrong choice — can cost a hero an arm. They keep fighting. They're never the same. There are ways to put someone back together, and none of them are free.

👹 Bosses that don't let go

Multi-phase bosses with cinematic signatures that change shape the instant you think you've won. Some aren't satisfied with simply killing you — and what they do to a hero they catch is better left to discover for yourself.

🎲 Tempt fate

The road is paved with temptation: strange entities that offer gifts with a price, two merchants fighting over your purse — one honest, one who dares you to gamble it all — and rule-breaking trophies that bend the laws of combat in your favor... or against you.
