The idea

Fate is a bargain.

In Bloodsign power never comes free. After a boss you pick one of three cards in the safe room: a rule changes, something is taken from you. Damage, health or speed? The deck is rewritten run after run.

  • Readable combat

    Every attack shows a warning first. The area you see is the area that hits you; the escape is yours.

  • Cards change rules

    Not just percentages: your dash leaves a trail, your finisher changes shape.

  • A zodiac tour

    12 signs, 12 chapters. At the end of each one, that sign's boss waits.

A run

Room to room, sign to sign

A run advances through rooms. When you die the run ends; your card collection and Star Dust remain.

  1. 01

    Clear the room

    Beat the enemy waves. Few enemies share the screen at once; each one is readable and learnable.

  2. 02

    Pick a door

    When the room is cleared a door opens. Some doors are risky: a storm door raises the threat and pays out prophecy in return.

  3. 03

    Fell the boss

    At the end of each sign that sign's boss appears. Its attacks have long wind-ups; dodging and punishing is up to you.

  4. 04

    Catch your breath

    Pick one of three cards as the boss reward. The Oracle waits in the safe room; spend your prophecy with the Fortune Teller.

The Aries boss: a horned charge, then a ground-cracking blow.
Combat

Strike, parry, dash.

Light hits build a three-step combo; the third is the finisher. Hold to strike heavy, right-click to guard, Shift to dash.

Enemy attacks show a warning area first; damage matches the area you see.

All cards
Classes

Three paths

Each class asks for a different rhythm, and the cards work very differently for each.

Balanced

Sealed Wanderer

A hit you dodge at the last moment empowers your next finisher. The class for those who keep the rhythm with a sword.

Steel Circle — a short, telegraphed strike that sweeps everything around you.

  • Available from the start
  • Melee
Heavy

Ash Guardian

A guard instead of a dash: block frontal hits to charge a counter. Heavy armor, slow but unshakable steps.

Ash Verdict — a heavy blow that cracks the ground and breaks balance.

  • Unlocked with Star Dust
  • Guard
Ranged

Night Oracle

Mark enemies with seal bolts, then detonate the marks on your third hit. Fragile, but deadly from afar.

Night Rift — opens a rift under the cursor and stamps a seal on its target.

  • Unlocked with Star Dust
  • Ranged

In the planned demo only the Sealed Wanderer is playable.

Zodiac

12 signs, 12 bosses

From Aries to Pisces, each sign is a chapter and each chapter ends with a boss. Four elements, twelve faces.

  • Aries
  • Taurus
  • Gemini
  • Cancer
  • Leo
  • Virgo
  • Libra
  • Scorpio
  • Sagittarius
  • Capricorn
  • Aquarius
  • Pisces

Fortune Teller and Oracle

Knowledge is bought with prophecy.

The Fortune Teller buys, sells, boosts and heals. The Oracle is the quiet figure of the post-boss safe room: you can swear the "Without Bloodshed" vow. Clear the next combat room without taking damage and you earn 13 prophecy; fail and there is no extra penalty.

Prophecy
The in-run currency.
Star Dust
What remains between runs; it unlocks classes and upgrades.
