What is Power Chord?

Power Chord is a turn-based roguelite deckbuilder about stopping demons from reopening a rift between worlds. You assemble musicians, use their cards and gear, and choose branching routes through battles, merchants, encounters, and rest stops. When a musician falls, their cards become unavailable until you revive them.
