What is Relapse?

This single-player, turn-based roguelite deckbuilder follows Realm, a peasant trying to break a curse that resets time whenever humanity dies out. Runs span three acts with procedurally generated encounters. You draw ability cards, spend action points to play them, and then begin a battle phase in which enemies act.

For you if...

+you enjoy permanent character growth between repeated runs
+you like planning around partially revealed enemy actions

Not for you if...

−you prefer real-time action over managing cards and turns
−you expect negative status effects to disappear after battles
