Description
Eldritch Soul is a Roguelike Deckbuilder about hiding from an unknowable being, called The Hunter. The Hunter aims to destroy anyone with knowledge from the Eldritch Tome, so you must use this knowledge to hide it. Learn the secrets of the universe in the form of cards, then use these cards to banish these secrets from your mind when the hunter approaches. Cards in Eldritch Soul are completely randomly generated. Some are nonsensical, others overpowered, and others simply unique. Finding the perfect cards to compliment your strategy is all up to luck- and a bit of skill at evaluating what's important! On top of the random cards, choose one of the 22 major arcana to guide you, granting unique and powerful effects that change the way you play.

Credits
Hidden within this tome are the secrets of the universe. But these secrets are not to be taken lightly. Reading this book brings with it a danger. There is something out there. Something that doesn't want the human mind to understand the truth of our world. Something I see when I close my eyes. Should you choose to read this book, I ask that you do so with caution. I only wish I had. -A Seeker of Knowledge A game by Henry Haak

Age note: This game contains light use of mature themes. It has a creepy atmosphere (if I do say so myself), though no explicit horror.
AI: This game's developer created it without the use of generative AI.
