A rogue's life, told one book at a time.
Out now on iOS & Android
The Sunken Coast is waiting.
Wren needs to fight her demons. Help her on her journey through five different scenarios. Built on the Scoundrel card game: one deck, one weapon, and every room a decision you live or die by.
The Sunken Coast
Five acts about a journey of grief.
Act II
The Debtors’ Tide
The Weirgate keeps its drowned as collateral against debts the living never paid. On her way through, Wren needs to resist paying her own.
Act III
The Tolling Choir
In Mourn’s End they rang the passing-bell so long the bell learned to ring itself. Sixty years of fog, and the bell is still tolling. Wren must find the right note to stop it.
Act IV
The Green Assize
Inland, under the trees, a court has sat for ninety years, retrying one old case and growing its rulings into the wood. Wren needs to find the right verdict to finally adjourn it.
Act V
The Patient Sea
Caul is the city of a hundred bridges. Somewhere below the waterline lies its secret and the way to unveil it leads through Wren's own front door.
After the ending
The Lamplighter’s Rounds
A dungeon that rearranges itself every time you enter. Fight your way through its endless depths and see how far you can go.
How it plays
More than just a card game.
The Scoundrel loop
Four cards to a room, and you must face three. Monsters, weapons, potions, never retreating twice from the same room. Every choice is a risk.
A story about grief
Dialogue between floors, choices that end each act differently. Follow Wren on a journey to defeat her own grief.
Four paths to grow
Blade, Body, Cunning and Lantern skill trees. Your experience survives death; the coast is patient and so is your progress.
The Chronicle
Every run is written down — kills, escapes, endings, records. Your history becomes a book of its own.
Bosses with rules
Each Depth ends in a lair, and each boss bends the game rules in its own way.
An original score
A Scoundrel's Tale features a full original soundtrack.
A board to climb
The Rounds feature a leaderboard for endless and daily runs. Compete with other players and see how far you can go.
