A roguelike deckbuilder of folk gods
CELESTIAL9
Nine pantheons. Forty-five gods. One perfect hand.
Burn the incense, seat a god at your altar, and rewrite the cards in your hand until heaven has no polite way to refuse.
First look
The trailer
Two minutes of incense, cards and things that should have stayed buried.
The run
How it plays
An ordinary deck of playing cards, and nine pantheons arguing about what each card is worth.
Draw a hand
The Nine
Forty-five gods across nine houses. Nine come to the altar each time you visit — never the same nine twice.
Descent
Three realms
Each run walks the same three grounds and never the same route. The gods answer more slowly the further down you go.
What you carry out
Relics & tributes
War-suppression relics
Weapons and wards taken off the gods themselves — each one changes a rule of the fight, not a number in it. Nine are already here. The names stay sealed.
Tributes
Gods work for offerings, not for free. The right dish for the right altar — the recipes wait for the day you kneel.
