Stygian
A downloadable game for Windows
Stygian is a twisted reimagining of Blackjack where your wager isn’t just chips—it’s your blood. You’ll face the dealer in a battle of cards and willpower, but when the odds turn against you, you may offer sacrifices of flesh and sense to tip the balance in your favor.
Every choice is a gamble: win by skill, or win by surrendering pieces of yourself. But beware—the more you give, the harder survival becomes.
Core Gameplay:
At its heart, Stygian follows the familiar rules of Blackjack:
-
Get as close to 21 as possible without going over.
-
Beat the dealer’s hand to win the round.
But here’s the twist: players may sacrifice body parts to alter the game. These sacrifices are permanent, carrying over through multiple rounds.
Sacrifices:
Each sacrifice unlocks a different power:
-
Finger (Shred a Card): Remove one card permanently from the deck.
-
Eye (Sight Beyond): Reveal the dealer’s next card before it’s drawn.
-
Tooth (Shuffle Fate): Reshuffle the entire deck, breaking the dealer’s advantage.
-
Ear (Whisper of the Odds): Hear a faint tick for each card above 10 that the dealer holds.
The more you sacrifice, the greater your control—but each offering drains your blood, drawing you ever closer to death.
Progression:
-
Play across 3 deadly rounds.
-
Sacrifices persist between rounds.
-
Winning all rounds means survival—and a twisted victory. Losing means giving too much of yourself until nothing remains.
