Launching Next Month - Our Attempt to Bring Roguelike Deckbuilding to More


Indies' Lies, our refreshing take on the roguelike deckbuilding genre, and an attempt to introduce the genre to more players, will be available here on Itch.io and on Steam on March 31st!

Indies' Lies is our attempt to lower the threshold of the Roguelike+DBG genre, and build a truly beginner-friendly DBG with a smooth deckbuilding process, but also with fantastic depth and dynamic for the experienced, to allow more players to experience of the appeal of this genre. To make this happen, we 

1) Adjusted the deckbuilding process. 

When the card rewards come up after battles, Indies’ Lies allows players to replace the current deck with new cards, instead of “take it or leave it” in most deckbuilders. This makes it easier to sense and build card strategies, and efficiently adjust tactics for different enemies, ensuring smoother strategy formation and a more enjoyable battle experience.

2) Created an original partner system which can create different matches with hero deck.

A partner system provides more flexibility for players to coordinate the hero deck with partner decks. There are a dozen of partners to choose from, each with distinctive deck and mechanic, further enhancing the gameplay for deck-building fans.

3) Invented a customized flexible rune system and talent mechanics for additional effects.

The rune system and talent tree create strong synergies with the deck. For example, a rare rune can significantly boost the card effect. As for the talent system, both general talents and class-specific talents can be obtained from battles or random events, offering an interesting addition to strategy choices, and at the same time reducing the pressure and increasing the thrill of selecting and executing strategies.

4) Wrote original stories for  9 characters, with a total of 300,000 words of text.

Step into Mekaa, a world caught in the clashes of Gods. By collecting clues for each character, you can unlock story mode and dive into their quests, whether it is chasing a lost love, fighting the Seven Nightmares, or finding the culprit behind Mekaa’s fall into this dark frenzy.
