LoveCrafting

Summon, dominate and sacrifice unnameable beasts for power in a card-based roguelite deck-builder. Embrace the power of madness.

Through a turn-based summoning ritual, you'll have to play your cards right, to dominate the creature while empowering its Strength, Power and Toxicity. The more powerful the creature is, the bigger the reward but the deadlier the risk. Death is permanent, so be careful about your strategy : You may regret going down the path of madness ...

"That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die."
- H.P. Lovecraft
