Roll the bones, bend the rules, and gamble your way out of purgatory in this dark card game adventure. Every spirit plays dirty, and so should you.

We love a good gamble, and BONEREADER turns that into a full afterlife adventure. You’ve been fried in the electric chair and woken up in purgatory, where every spirit you meet wants to play a game of chance for your soul. Build up a deck of mystical cards and dice, chase big scores, and figure out how far your greed can push you before it gets you killed all over again.

What makes it click is the house rules. Every opponent twists the game in their own supernatural way, so you can’t just lean on one strategy and coast. You’ve got to read each spirit, adapt your deck on the fly, and steal their tricks once you beat them to make your own hand nastier.

Underneath all the dice rolling there’s a proper mystery too. Talk to the spirits, dig into their stories, and slowly piece together what actually happened the night you died. Purgatory doesn’t care if you deserve a second life. BONEREADER just dares you to take one anyway.
