Faith in Despair is a grimdark roguelike deckbuilder. As Faith, the last of your kind, you are cursed to play against Death itself and must refrain from giving in to despair, if you care to live and play another day. You forge your cards with triggers, actions and modifiers, shape your deck to concoct devastating synergies and unlock new abilities to free yourself from your eternal torment.
Features:
- Forge your cards: You collect triggers, actions and modifiers and define the abilities of the creatures and spells at your command.
- Shape your deck: Formulate your strategy and concoct devastating synergies to level the legions of Death.
- Give into despair: Every spell you cast, every creature you raise, pushes you deeper into despair and puts curses on you.
- Explore your own path: Follow Faith's journal, reveal her story and unlock new starter decks to challenge Death.
- Experience human passion: Art, sound design and game development are crafted by humans, including art by Magic: The Gathering artist Marcela Bolívar.
