About the Game

A roguelike deckbuilder where you fight with your fingers, spill some blood, and try to make it to your niece’s birthday on time.

You’re a wizard. A not-so-heroic wizard imprisoned for wizard crime, awoken from your wizard slumber by an invitation from your niece. Escape from jail and traverse a hostile world crawling with danger. Every turn is a frenzy of spell sigils, cracking bones, and desperate gestures as you shred through monstrosities with raw elemental power.

You’re not the chosen one, you’re just trying to be a good uncle.

💀 Master Tactical Spellcraft

This isn’t your usual “play the biggest card” deckbuilder.

Every spell is built from elemental patterns cast directly with your fingers. Recipes can overlap and combine, sparking strategies that reward clever play and experimentation.

You’ll discover emergent synergies not just in what you play, but how you cast it — turning each turn into a high-stakes puzzle full of risk, reward, and happy little accidents.

🩸 Gory, never Grim

  • Explore a hand-drawn dark fantasy world of cursed ruins and haunted forests

  • Face grotesque and absurd monsters, oozing with menace and dread

  • Splatter enemies into charred puddles while outrunning your jailors

You’re not saving the world. You’re just trying to get to a birthday party in one piece — and maybe pick up a card on the way

🧠 Designed for “A-ha!” Moments

  • 8+ playable characters, each bending the spellcasting system in unique ways

  • One-hour runs - perfect for single-session wins

What begins as simple patterns quickly grows into a web of interactions — rewarding experimentation and cleverness over rote memorization.

Pros: The game has a unique mechanic. Art is unique. There's a short learning curve and there is a reasonable challenge. Cons: The game is painfully repetitive. After playing through with the first mage and winning, you

Very fun game. All about getting those amazing combos going. I saw someone give it a 2.5/5 on Hey Poor Player. They said it was too difficult. What a clown. I beat the game on my first try.

You'll like this game if you like slay the spire, i found some similarities between them. But something with this game i don't like, is that everytime i reached the final boss i beat it. They should giga buff the boss

I tend to not write negative reviews since they aren't as fun to write but this is an exception. Pluto is a proof-of-concept, not a game ready for release, even given its generous price point. There are many flaws with

the game has a tremendous vibe that i enjoy, and the art is wonderfully uncomfortable, but the explanation of the systems even after completing the tutorial doesn't really work. this game is very difficult but feels bad

This is a wonderful hidden jem. The art still is incredible and give Fear and Hunger vibes. Each character is incredibly well designed and fun. My one gripe is the readability for some things. Highly recommend 🫶
