This is my entry for LD50, Doomsday Cult.
It's a card game where you, as a cultist, have to delay the arrival of a cosmic horror in order to bargain for a still definite but better ending for yourself or humanity.
There are currently 5 possible endings depending on your results (try to find all!)
There are also 5 total artifacts. Artifacts can be acquired by accumulating stats (Faith and/or Sorcery).
You start with a deck of cards. Your objective is to go as long as possible and stall the game while gaining resources and artifacts. You can either:
- Play a card, and if you win, you get its rewards.
- Skip a card, then it goes to the bottom of the deck and gets harder. It also improves the rewards.
Each card has a special "action" which you must fulfill.
If you mouse over some icons on the game you can see a help text.
The only available control scheme for the game is Keyboard & Mouse.
Spacebar - Clap.
Mouse - Buttons and Drawing.
It's available on WebGL (play on browser)
It has no sounds/music.
There are some "hidden" mechanics that help stalling the game, not all of them are mentioned in the game.
EDIT: The 5 possible endings are as follows:
- End the game with less than 20 turns
- End the game with more than 20 turns, but with less than 40 faith & sorcery
- End the game with more than 20 turns, with >= 40 faith
- End the game with more than 20 turns, with >= 40 sorcery but < 40 faith
- End the game with more than 40 turns, but less than 40 faith & sorcery
