About the game
One misplaced card can flip the whole match.
Dreadfold plays on a 3×3 grid. You have 5 cards in hand from a collection of 320, and you place them one at a time against a rival master. Adjacent cards compare values. Higher number captures the lower. Simple rules, deep consequences.
If you loved Triple Triad in Final Fantasy VIII, this is built on those same foundations. Just a full game instead of a minigame.
320 cards, all hand-painted
Every card was painted by hand. No AI filler, no asset store creatures. Each one has a name, a story in the compendium, and a reason to exist on your bench.
Ranks go from common to legendary across 4 rarities. 40 cards per faction, 8 factions, 320 total.
8 regions, 48 rival masters
Each region is ruled by one faction and defended by 6 masters. Five standard duels and a boss at the end. Beat them, take a card from their collection. Lose, and you give one up.
Regions unlock in a semi-linear path: Savage Lands first, then Withered Forest, then Warriors, and so on. All rematchable as many times as you want.
Deckbuilding without the randomness
Before each match you pick 5 cards from your whole collection. No RNG draws and no hidden hand. You bring the cards you want, your opponent does the same.
A bad match is a bad read, not bad luck. I made it this way on purpose and I know it's a choice some people won't like.
Dark fantasy all the way down
The soundtrack has two moods, exploration and combat, with a crossfade between them when a match starts. The UI is styled like a grimoire because the whole collection is built around reading creature lore as you unlock it.
