Roots Devour is a strategic exploration game focused on a card-connection mechanism, around which it skillfully fuses elements of strategy, adventure, resource management, and deckbuilding. You will play as a newborn eldritch, stretching your root to connect with every living thing around you. Devour everything to extend your roots further, until you explore and uncover the truth behind.
Reborn, and reclaim your dominion
During a deep forest ritual, you – a newborn eldritch – are summoned into this world. Extend your roots: pierce, entwine, and drain the lifeblood of creatures still struggling in terror. Meticulously plan this frantic spread, expanding through the unknown darkness until you dismantle the world, reconstruct it, and ultimately, consume it whole.
A Card Strategy Experience centered on Connection
Unlike traditional card games, in Roots Devour, you must lay out your cards and expend resources to forge connections, fueling your relentless expansion.
The full version features 14 unique card decks and hundreds of cards, offering a vast array of ever-shifting synergies and playstyles. As your journey unfolds, you will unlock powerful new abilities that allow you to reshape the terrain, intervene in events, or turn the tide of a hopeless situation.
Discover worlds of varying rules
The full release of Roots Devour spans 5 chapters, with a single playthrough lasting approximately 10 to 15 hours. Start from the dim forest , carrying you through treacherous swamps and snowy mountains, eventually infiltrating the very heart of human settlements. Each area introduces unique mechanics and rules; adapt your strategy to continue the journey.
Meet Diverse Characters, Shape Multiple Destinies
On your journey, you will encounter characters harboring deep secrets. Trade with them, engage in dialogue, or even claim them as your “Dependents.” You will stumble upon survivors, cultists, and madmen, all clinging to the frayed edges of their sanity. As the superior, you hold the threads of their lives in your hands. Your choices will alter their fates and ultimately dictate how your story ends.
Grim. Gothic. Immersive.
Roots Devour does not rely on excessive gore to render its grim and darkness. Instead, its distinctive Gothic-style character portraits and card illustrations are meticulously crafted and exquisitely elegant.
Moreover, the game boasts an exceptionally rich soundscape. Players will be subjected to the whispers of various creatures in the deep forest, the waxing and waning howls of wolves, and the chilling sounds of rodents being torn apart and drained of blood…
Roots Devour aims to transcend the limitations of the card-game genre and significantly enhance the immersion of every expedition.
Overall, Roots Devour is a game centered on exploration and atmosphere, blending strategy, adventure, resource management, and deckbuilding. The narrative unfolds through fragmented lore and player-driven choices. This is not a story you simply listen to, it is a path you must walk yourself, where every step requires careful deliberation.
