The Pathbound Wayfarer

The Pathbound Wayfarer is a pixel-art side-scrolling card action roguelite that combines real-time combat with card-based builds. Choose your path across a branching map, enter side-scrolling stages, and survive using the cards in your hand. Every card represents an action: strike with a sword, summon flying blades, throw bombs, cast fireballs, place traps, call down lightning, vanish from danger, or turn the battlefield with strange tools. After each stage, claim new cards, collect relics, and shape your build for the next encounter. Relics can strengthen your attacks, change how your cards behave, protect you from death, or reward risky play.
