Freyline is a roguelike deckbuilder RPG set in the fantasy realm of Leodin, named after the titular maiden.
Recently a mysterious spell has caused all beings to be consumed with lust, for the chaste order of Leo and Vesper this is something of an annoyance. However Battle Maiden Freyline has been despatched westwards to close the rift and conclude the insane levels of debauchery.
In Freyline you help our hero by building a deck, navigating branching paths, and survive a series of deadly encounters where victory can be achieved through brutal damage or by overwhelming your enemies through arousal and corruption... which might be easier but Leo and Vesper will likey not look kindly on. Every choice pushes you closer toward one of two destinies and neither path is clean.
Combat is fast, tactical, and deeply replayable (I hope), blending familiar deckbuilding fundamentals with a dual-resource system that rewards risk-taking, restraint, or deliberate imbalance... of find a sick build that breaks the game because it is fun to break things.
