Your soul is on the table. Roll the dice for a shot at rebirth in this otherworldly card game adventure. Build your deck, harness mystical dice, and battle spirits in a deadly game of chance through a psychedelic purgatory. Will you escape—or be damned for eternity?

Every soul in Purgatory plays by different rules. Every spirit has something to wager. Every roll could decide your fate.

BONEREADER is a dark card game adventure with narrative elements where you survive deadly games of chance against otherworldly spirits in pursuit of a second life. Build supernatural synergies between cards, mystical dice, and powerful items, overcome each opponent’s unique "house rule," and uncover the truth behind your own execution.

Wander through a dreamlike afterlife where justice is uncertain, fate is measured in numbers, and redemption must be won—not given.

ROLL THE BONES

  • Build your collection of mystical cards and dice.

  • Roll the "bones" to play cards and score big.

  • Create powerful synergies between your cards, dice, and items.

  • Push your score ever higher in a deadly game of chance.

  • Every roll matters—greed can save you or damn you.

THE HOUSE HAS RULES

No two opponents play alike.

Every spirit twists the game with its own supernatural "house rule," forcing you to adapt your strategy, rethink your deck, and gamble against impossible odds.

  • Challenge a host of mysterious otherworldly spirits.

  • Outsmart each opponent’s unique "house rule."

  • Claim powerful new dice from defeated foes.

  • Use their own powers to tip the odds in your favor.

  • Speak with each spirit to uncover their stories—and your own.

ESCAPE FROM PURGATORY

Fried in the electric chair, your soul awakens in a place where the dead gamble for a second life. Certain you were betrayed, you died without peace.

Now, your only chance at rebirth is to defeat the spirits who stand before you, uncover the truth behind your death, and reclaim what was taken from you.

This grim afterlife doesn’t care whether you deserve redemption.

Take it anyway.
