What is Book of Demons?

An isometric action RPG set in a pop-up book world, where you descend through procedurally generated dungeons beneath the Old Cathedral to stop the Archdemon. You fight monsters using cards that represent items, spells, and skills, and choose how long each dungeon trip will be.

For you if...

+you want dungeon trips sized to your available time
+you like playful takes on dark fantasy

Not for you if...

−you want free movement rather than fixed dungeon paths
−you expect a traditional deckbuilding card game

What players say
