About this game
Tenebrix (Early Access)
Descend into Tenebrix, a dark fantasy roguelite where deckbuilding, dungeon crawling, and camp progression collide. Choose one of four classes, build a deck of creatures, sorceries, and enchantments, then fight for control of a three-lane battlefield where position matters as much as power.
Between battles, explore procedural dungeon floors filled with traps, roaming monsters, treasure chests, secret doors, fear, corruption, and hard choices about whether to push deeper or return to camp. Upgrade your refuge, forge permanent cards, enchant favorites, salvage the rest, purge corruption, buy supplies, and prepare for the next descent.
But death is not the end of your story. Fallen heroes can return as enemies, carrying echoes of the decks they died with. In Tenebrix, the dungeon remembers.

Patch NotesOfficial
Tenebrix Patch 0.2.1
Tenebrix v0.2.1 - Interface and Combat PolishA small polish patch is now live, focused on presentation, smoothness, and making cards leave play with a little more drama.What’s NewStory SlidesWe've heard player feedback! The starting game story slides are apparently a bit long. A skip option has been added so that you can right to the game.Cleaner new-game variant selectorThe champion variant selector on the new-game screen now uses a transparent framed background, letting the character scene show through the UI more naturally.Smoother camp movementCamp traversal should feel a bit cleaner now thanks to a performance improvement that avoids repeated visibility checks when the active camp area has not changed.New card-leaving-play flairCards no longer simply vanish when creatures die, enchantments expire, or hand cards resolve. They now pop into full card view, flip to the card back, then shrink and spin into the appropriate graveyard counter.Thanks for PlayingThis patch is small, but it adds a nice bit of polish to the moment-to-moment flow.
