Sylva's Blessing

A cozy-but-cunning roguelike deckbuilder. A goddess pulls your soul into a dying world and asks you to cut the blight from its root. Pick a hero, build a deck, and fight down through four corrupted dungeons — Goblins, Undead, Beasts, and the demon lord beneath it all.

The World-Root is dying, and Sylva the Greenmother has called you across death to save it. Choose a vessel — Warrior, Mage, Druid, or Rogue — and descend through four escalating acts, each a distinct faction with its own threats and its own lord to break.

• Classic card-battler combat — mana, creatures, keywords (Flying, Reach, Trample, Haste), instants, traps, and hero powers.

• A branching run map — pick your path through combats, elites, events, shops, campfires, and treasure toward each act's boss.

• Grow your deck with rewards, relics, a card-forge, and Sylva's between-act blessings.

• Every boss is piloted by the Oracle — a neural network trained on millions of self-played battles, then audited by adversarial AI trying to break it. No scripts, no cheating with hidden information — it simply plays well.

• Four heroes, four dungeons, a town to return to, and a story with a twist about a friendly face named Alric.

• Family-friendly fantasy — made by a dad, first playtested by his kids.

Try the free demo: play through the whole first act — the Goblin Warrens — and take on Goresnout, the Goblin Warlord. Like it? The full game opens all four acts, every hero, the forge, the town, and the truth about the blight.

Sylva's Blessing streams the live game world — an internet connection is required to play.
