As We Descend is a sinister journey into the unknown and an atmospheric roguelike deckbuilder where every descent dives deeper into madness. Armed only with your wits and a deck of increasingly unstable cards, you'll plunge into a shifting abyss teeming with cryptic threats, cursed artifacts, and unspeakable horrors.

Each run begins with a fragile strategy and a handful of cards, but no plan survives contact with what lurks below. With every step deeper, you'll encounter twisted enemies, fractured environments, and branching choices that challenge your morality as much as your tactics. What you gain in power, you trade in certainty. No two runs are alike, and the dungeon adapts just as fast as you do.

Deckbuilding is more than survival. Forge synergies, experiment with cursed boons, and manipulate the battlefield through turn-based combat that demands foresight and flexibility. As you unlock new characters and cards, fresh strategies emerge, inviting you to dig deeper into the game's evolving meta.

The abyss is not just a place, it's a presence. It remembers your choices, it twists your path, and it watches. Uncover fragments of a hidden story scattered through grim encounters and surreal events. As We Descend invites you to lose yourself again and again in a descent that's as strategic as it is gloomy.
