Crawlyard is a roguelite Deck Builder and Action RPG hybrid that lets you combine long-term strategic decisions with real-time combat. So, Slay the Spire meets Hades? Sure, why not! Build your puppets, upgrade your skills, choose your allies, and solve the mystery of the Mansion by exploring the deepest tiers of its theatrical backstage.

  • Real-time battles: here, your dungeon runs are more fast-paced. Adapt to the battle flow and search for the best moves in the heat of combat!
  • Tactical pause: if you need a breather, activate "deck time" to look for a life-saving card combo that will pull you out of the clutches of death.
  • Card synergy: learn how active abilities, passive effects and special dungeon mechanics affect each other to make yourself unstoppable - or add more challenge!
    • Deck building: your puppets are able to use a variety ability cards, further enhanced by the perk system. The dungeon itself can be reshaped according to your wishes!
    • Puppet crafting: three basic playable archetypes of a "knight", a "rogue" and a "mage" can be customized further with the doll parts you discover in the process of conquering the backstage. Dismantle the bosses to upgrade your own puppets!
    • Event system: encounter special events mid-journey and make choices that can shift the flow of the performance, bring unexpected rewards, or raise the difficulty.
    • Intertwining stories: meet other characters bewitched by the call of the Mansion. Get them to open up to you, learn about their traumas and manias, and affect their future – perhaps in a romantic way. The more you give, the more you obtain in return.
    • Choices matter: the others are stuck, but you can still move forward, unraveling the threads of their unfortunate fates. Will you advise your new comrades to do what they want? Or will you suggest they search for what you think they need?
    • Reach the Endgame: grow stronger, collect enough hints and find the perfect pattern – the ultimate room layout that will reveal the Wishmaster. Have your desires fulfilled at last... unless you found something, or someone, along the way that made your change your mind.
