C.A.R.D.S. demo

An experimental game prototype. (formerly Cardium)

About

Slay enemies, collect loot, upgrade your deck to become more powerful, and face the Exterminator lurking in the dungeon.

The game explores a unique combination of video game genres.

This game was created as part of my master's thesis project at the University of Gothenburg.
