Build 0.5.0 · Season 1 · Soft Launch

Tame the abyss. Lose everything.

A roguelike deckbuilder where you tame creatures mid-battle, mutate their talents, and descend a seven-depth map. HP ranges from 2 to 13. Every point of damage matters. When a creature dies, it's gone forever.

A bestiary you tame.
A graveyard that grows.

Tame creatures mid-battle, or buy packs from merchants during a run. Pick a party of up to five from your vault, place them into three combat lanes, and descend a branching seven-depth map — battles, elites, merchants, rest sites, and events. Two bosses. One final encounter at the bottom.

Creatures that die go into the Records permanently. Dust and progression carry forward. The creature doesn't. You tame replacements, mutate their talents, and descend again.

Three lanes.
Speed kills.

Place up to three creatures into lanes — the rest sit on the bench as reserves. Each turn, queue one ability per creature, then combat resolves by speed. No ATK or DEF stats — all damage comes from abilities and status effects.

Creatures target the enemy in their lane first, then adjacent lanes. Ten status effects — poison, burn, shield, stun, taunt, and more — stack, tick, and interact. Use bait to tame enemies mid-fight. Use belt items to heal, cure, or deal damage.

"Weaken them first. Throw bait. The catch rate scales with damage dealt." — The Taming Mechanic

Permadeath. Named. Remembered.

If they fall, the Records remember.

Every creature you lose enters the Records permanently — their name, how deep they went, what killed them.

The abyss doesn't reset. Progress carries forward, but the creature is gone. You tame another and keep descending.

Four steps.
The last one is permanent.

I Tame

Build your party

Tame creatures mid-battle or buy packs from merchants during runs. Build a party of up to five from your vault — three in lanes, two on the bench.

II Mutate

Risk the Mutation Lab

Use mutagen to roll talent mutations — gain a new talent, upgrade one, corrupt it, or pull a wild void talent with a curse. Max three per creature. Use syringes to extract and infuse abilities between creatures.

III Descend

Seven depths

Seven depths with branching paths — battles, elites, gauntlets, merchants, rest sites, and events. Bosses at depth IV and VII. Five biomes rotate the creature pools each floor.

IV Bury

Write the cause

Dead creatures enter the Records permanently — name, depth reached, cause of death, total kills. Dust earned carries forward. The creature doesn't.

Talents and combos

Every creature has a signature talent unique to its species, plus shared talents from mutation. Seven ability combos trigger when one creature holds both required abilities — like Toxic Barricade, Dark Fortress, or Abyssal Rebirth.

Items and belt

Eight belt slots carry consumables into each run — healing salves, cure vials, thorn bombs, syringes, mutagens, and four tiers of bait. Use them in battle or between encounters. When they're gone, they're gone.

VII

Async multiplayer. Server-verified.

Every action is server-validated. No save-scumming, no fake runs. Seasonal leaderboards track the tamers who actually survived. Play at your own pace.

VIII

Ascension

Beat the Devourer and the abyss gets harder. Eleven levels of escalating difficulty. The abyss remembers how many times you survived it.

Q · 01 How long is a run? 15–25 minutes if you reach the bottom. A bad run can end in five. Short enough to play on a break, deep enough to keep coming back.

Q · 02 Is it free to play? Yes. Sign in and play in your browser. No download, no paywall. Season rewards and on-chain features are optional — you don't need a wallet to descend.

Q · 03 Do I need to be online? You need an account — sign in and your progress lives on the server. Play from any browser, pick up where you left off. Seasonal leaderboards track who's actually surviving.

Q · 04 What platforms? Any modern browser — desktop or mobile. No app store, no install. Your run state lives on the server, so you can switch devices mid-descent.
