Teufelskreis

An occult roulette roguelite deckbuilder about gambling your way out of an employment contract. Place wagers and play tarot cards to manipulate their outcomes while a possessed corporate AI bets against you and corrupts the table.

The house bets back

Every spin, the machine places a wager of its own: a color, a number, a whole column, or something worse. Overwrite its bet before the ball drops, or gamble that it misses.

A deck that shouldn't work

Sculpt your tarot deck into an engine: draft, upgrade, and thin it every round until a single spin spirals into an impossible turn.

Meet the quota

Unlock rule-bending artifacts and clear each contract's quota before your spins, or your life, run out. Termination is the only exit.
