Purgatory Trial
[SiberianGamejam Best Graphics Award]
Purgatory Trial is a narrative card battler where you play as a lost soul trapped in purgatory.
A cunning demoness named Camellia offers you one chance at redemption:
win her twisted card tournament.
Defeat the other damned souls to earn your freedom — but lose,
and you'll descend into the depths of hell.
Controls:
Use the mouse to drag a card into the slot where you want to play it.
Once you run out of mana, press the End Turn button to start the battle.
Rules:
Your goal is to reduce your opponent’s health to zero.
If there is no enemy card in a slot, your card will deal damage directly to the opponent.
Each card has its own stats — attack, health, and mana cost — as well as unique abilities.
Cards are also divided into two classes: melee and ranged.
Melee cards can only be placed in the front rows, while ranged cards can go anywhere,
but they attack over the front line, targeting the row behind.

Insane quality as for 72 hours. Incredible work!
Thank you! Very glad that you enjoy it! We're cooking some more
прикольно! анимации выглядят круто ✨ Правда на третьей битве после хода противника произошел лаг, и мне не дали ход, пришлось релодать страницу (｡T ω T｡)
Уф. На случай, если что-то пошло не так, там можно нажать ход конец хода, чтобы избежать софтлоков неприятных, но если из-за чего-то еще сломалось, то это печально :(
да я вроде всё что можно потыкал, но без эффекта. Мб реально софтлок, но в целом там быстро перепроходится, игра мне понравилась
Топ игра я в восторге от всего ))От графики до приятных соперников с небольшим описанием. Приятная стратегия с простой механикой )) Сразу не понял что если у дальнего боя нет цели через клетку то он бьет по основному здоровью )) .Прошел со 2 раза
I can't win a game because my HP at 3 round is almost 0. Will be there some kind of regen after win?
(After some time I beat 3 boss, but I left 2 hp, soo I have 0% win)
Yes, after this gamejam ill update game to the new rebalanced version where after fight and card select you will restore some amount of health
During gamejam's submission i cannot upload any build
In common roguelike game this problem solves by campfires before elite boss fight so i'll think about it
Nevermind, it's all was about my skill issue and unluck. After some time, I notice that bots use same tactic every time, soo I played until I get lucky. Soo I beat the game.
Ye, it's all scripted rn
Love the artstyle
is the targeting inconsistent?
Targeting is always consistent, but I guess it’s not very clear in this version.
It depends on the card's class which slot gets attacked:
In post-jam version ill add hit-shader trigger to slot to better indicate which one was damaged
I'd rather stay in purgatory... (っ˘ڡ˘ς)
Happy happy happy!
Very beatiful art!
Took me 5 tries. Fun
Прикольная карточная игра, арты милые :)
