Burn With Me challenges you to craft unique deck combinations for a story-rich journey filled with occult mysteries. As you delve deeper, your cards—and soul—permanently burn, pushing the boundaries of strategy and storytelling.
About this game
Burn With Me is a narrative deckbuilder soaked in cozy dread and forbidden rituals.
Follow the lives of occult university students who discover ancient rites and invocations with the help of their passionate Teacher. Face their personal trials, summon new creatures, synergize them, and burn to uncover the depths of obsession.
Burn With Me captures a special type of "strangeness" — a comforting one, inviting you to be part of it… while also keeping you on the edge of your seat, never knowing what to expect.
However, there are some exceptions that you can definitely expect:
A cozy but eerie narrative deckbuilder with roguelike elements
Unique position-based gameplay
Permanently burning your cards as one of the main mechanics
A dark overarching story set in a magical world, where students learn occult arts at university
5+ chapters and characters, with gameplay adjusting to reflect their deepest fears and obsessions
Burn With Me is a bold experiment — a visual symbiosis of handcrafted art and real-life videos — spliced with a unique perspective on "deckbuilding."
We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed creating it!

That's in less than 2 months!Here's the new cool trailer for this occasion:We were initially planning to release in early September (hence the "Q3 release date window" we had before), but decided to shift the release. To have proper time for development, for marketing, and for a couple of other secret things :) Hope the wait will be worth it - at least we're trying to make it so by putting our hearts in the game.See you all very, very soon!Read full article on Community Announcements (Nozomu Games)Press Coverage

Mega-collab
Have you ever said to yourself: "this narrative game is so good, I wish there was a reason to replay it and maybe even unlock something cool"?We got you covered with...Mega-collab!30+ artists are drawing alternative sprites for all 100 in-game cards. They can be unlocked by using this card in your successful chapter completion. Remember: there are no bad cards in Burn With Me, each one has a nice purpose or synergy :)All new unlocked artwork will be visible in Bestiary, where you would be able to set a new artwork as default for each individual card. And, of course, learn about all artists that offered us a part of their soul.Words can't convey how happy I am: talking to people, collaborating with other artists and our friends. People are awesome!Hope you'll enjoy this collab as well, and maybe it will inspire some of you to give chance to all the cards in Burn With Me.Read full article on Community Announcements (Nozomu Games)
