  Demo Update - Cranking It Up to 11

  Demo Update - Cranking It Up to 11We’ve been listening to your feedback, and this update is all about cranking everything up to 11 and giving you more control over your runs.ChallengesWe’ve added Challenges: contracts that introduce special rules and force you to rethink how you approach and win a run. They’re designed to push you toward different strategies and make each run play differently.The updated demo includes two Challenges to take on.More Cheats, EarlierYou now get a new Cheat at the start of every new layer of Hell, instead of after defeating its boss.This means you get your new toys earlier and have more time to build around them.Boss Rewards: Manipulate Your DeckBosses now reward you with Deck Alterations instead of Cheats.These let you manipulate your deck and shape it around the strategy you’re building.New Special EventsWe’ve added new special events that give you even more ways to manipulate your deck, tweak your synergies, and steer your build in the direction you want.This is just the start. We’re continuing to push toward more player agency, more ways to build broken strategies, and more ways to bend Hell in your favor.

  Demo Updated - Wrath Unleashed

  We just pushed a new update to the demo, and it adds one more layer of hell: Wrath.This means new enemies, new mechanics, and a noticeable step up in how fast things spiral. Expect more rage, more punishment, and some truly questionable personalities. Yes, including a certain passive aggressive Father of the Year.We’ve also added:New cheatsNew relicsNew challenges that unlock even more stuffOn top of that, we’ve done a solid pass on readability and overall polish. Things should be clearer, snappier, and a bit less “wait… what just happened?”If you’ve already played the demo, this should shake things up quite a bit. If you bounced off earlier, this is a good moment to give it another go.We’re very curious to hear what you think. What works, what doesn’t, and what feels completely unfair in the best or worst way.

  Demo updated - Aces High

  Aces HighOne of the most common pieces of feedback we’ve gotten is that Aces feeling like the weakest card in the game just felt wrong. We agree.Defence values now use Blackjack rules:Number cards: face valuePicture cards (J, Q, K): 10 defenceAces: 11 defenceThis makes Aces feel powerful again, without dramatically changing overall balance.Demons Found Their Voices (Sort Of)A lot of you asked for some kind of audio feedback when enemies speak.Enemies now make a sound when they talkIt adds a bit more personality and makes encounters feel less silent and awkwardNo full voice acting, just enough to make Hell feel alive.Fixes & TweaksLust boss now correctly updates and displays Rage informationSpeech text is now left-aligned, making dialogue much easier (and less annoying) to readDagger relic now triggers on a played card and has a value of 4 to 9 (inclusive).With Blackjack values in play, odd/even rules were getting way too unclear

  December 5th 2025 demo update - Cheating the Devil Is in the Details

  Thank you all for playing the demo, for all the great feedback, and for reporting issues. This update aims to fix the most frequently reported problems and make it easier to find cheats outside matches.You can now skip card modification for those times you don’t want to modify any of the offered cards.Made it easier to see if a card has been fused.Wheel of Fortune Increased rewards, reduced punishments:Gain gold: 100 → 150Gain health: 20 → 30Lose gold: 100 → 20Lose health: 20 → 5Imps’ opening dialogue now hints at the possibility of cheating.Added more hints to make it clearer that you don’t have to accept the encounter sequence the Devil lays out.Added mouse-over info on clouds, glasses, and damage indicators.Fixed so Rusty’s death animation is played (that poor girl).The damage indicator now also shows if an enemy has Rage.Increased starting money: 50 → 100Fixed a bug where you could execute your hand when you were about to be Rage-killed, causing the game to freeze.Detects if Marius de Maul kills himself with negative healing on too much Rage, and shows the victory sequence.Cheat costs are now shown as red clouds and are visible as long as a cheat is selected. Clouds also zoom up a bit when they’re grey to make it easier to spot that enemies get more suspicious. And as always, keep the feedback coming, it really helps us make the game even better!
