DESCRIPTION
Bloodletter is a strategic deck-builder where cunning and craft are needed to vanquish evil. A deck-builder most strategic, its roots lie entwined with the arcane art of tarot, remedies of the flesh, and the surrounding superstitions.
Evil entities have crept into the hearts of the common folk, who teeter upon the brink of madness and death. Only thy bathhouse stands as a bastion against the creeping corruption.
UNIQUENESS
- DAY-EVENING-NIGHT CYCLE!
BLOODLETTER offers a turnbased strategic challenge in the form of a daytime cycle. Each part of the day offering different interactions: first healing villagers, then utilising their deckbuilding abilities and lastly the entity, your opponent, gets to spread its sickening influence over the villagers
- HEAL VILLAGERS!
Take up the mantle of a barber surgeon and use your deck of cards to heal villagers from last night’s attack as well as prepare them for the next night to come. Each of the ten villagers comes equipped with four different stats you affect with your cards.
- UPGRADE CARDS!
In return for alleviating their suffering, they offer you new cards as well as their unique deck building abilities such as upgrading and duplicating cards or ways to manipulate the next day’s order of events.
- DEFEAT ENTITIES!
Before your arrival the villagers were at ominous forces’ mercy. Choose what entity you will try to slay and rid the village of its influence. Each of the four entites provides a unique win condition.
