Twin Compass

About the Game

Two faces to every card

Twin Compass is a single-player roguelike deckbuilder built on one decision you make on every single card: Upright or Reversed. Upright leans defense, precision, and control, and pulls the Compass toward Resonance. Reversed leans risk, volatility, and self-cost, and pushes it toward Tension. The same card is a different card depending on which face you play.

The Compass is always watching

A single dial runs from -100 (deepest Resonance) to +100 (deepest Tension), and every card you play moves it. Sit in the middle and some cards reward the balance. Push to either extreme and the Compass Breaks — a hard swing of relief or consequence — then resets to zero and the climb goes on. The dial never tells you which side is right. It only asks, honestly, which side you're standing on.

Climb the Tower

Four Acts, thirteen Towers, ten floors each Tower: one power standing against you in every stretch of the climb, the Void that unmakes, the Cult of the Dark Star that goes cold on purpose, Chronos that will not let the last moment end, and Chaos itself, answering to no one, at the top. Past them is the axis, and the Stillness, and a choice about whether the Turning starts again.

Build around who you are

• The Seeker — balanced, adaptable, reads the run and builds toward it.
  
• The Shadow — low health, high energy, ends fights before her own HP is the problem.
  
• The Oracle — high health, low energy, a small curated deck and a lot of patience.

Plays like

A contemplative, atmospheric take on the genre — Slay the Spire's structure with the mood of Hades and Sunless Sea. Not fortune-telling. Not mystic parody. Just you, a deck, and a dial that keeps score.
