“The oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.”
H. P. Lovecraft
What begins as a single turned card becomes a desperate struggle against things mankind was never meant to witness.
Eldritch Cards: The Lovecraftian Dungeon Crawler Game is a card roguelike where every run is a compact nightmare of risk, planning, and survival. Reveal cards one by one, fight monsters, gather weapons, cast forbidden spells, preserve your sanity, and push deeper into places that should have remained sealed forever.
Every decision matters. Flip the wrong card too early, and a careful run becomes a massacre. Open a Gate, and you may gain powerful rewards... or hasten the world's doom. Trust a relic, and it may save your life while poisoning your mind. In this game, survival is never clean, and victory is never free.
Face cults, Deep Ones, witches, things from beyond the stars, and the Great Old Ones themselves. Each Ancient One twists the rules of the game in its own way, forcing you to adapt your strategy while descending ever deeper into cosmic horror.
