Description

Teufelskreis is an occult roulette roguelite deckbuilder about gambling your way out of an employment contract. You place wagers and play tarot cards to manipulate their outcomes. A possessed corporate AI bets against you and corrupts the table, forcing you to meet each quota before your spins, or your life, runs out.

You're not just playing the odds; something is playing against you. Every spin, the machine places a wager of its own: a color, a number, a whole column, or something worse. It means to collect. Spend to overwrite its bet before the ball drops, or gamble that it misses. Guess wrong, and it gets paid.

Features

• Roulette as a combat system: place bets, then bend the odds with tarot cards.
• An adversary that wagers against you and corrupts the table between spins.
• Sculpt your tarot deck into an engine: draft new cards after every encounter, upgrade the ones that earn their keep, and thin the rest until every draw counts.
• Hunt & unlock rule-bending artifacts: permanent objects that change how you bet, spin, earn, and survive.
• Stack effects until a single spin spirals into an impossible turn.
• Leave the table and search the room: escape-room style riddles hide all around you, and every one you crack unravels more of the mystery behind OPCORP's success.
• Piece together what the machine really wants from emails and chat logs recovered as you play.
• An original soundtrack by Alex Peipman.
