Lord of Mystery is a Lovecraftian digital card game that you play cards in a single table as a metaphor of exploring a big world. The game is inspired by fiction Lord of the Mysterious, and games like Cultist Simulator, Stackland, and Beecarbonize.

The design of this game is rooted in a question: 'What price must we pay in return for the power we seek?'

You will sort cards on a single table, trigger card effects to exchange resources, build up your card system, grow stronger to survive the resource consumption, solve events and enemies, and ultimately level-up "yourself" towards "godhood". You will explore a mysterious occult world based on Victoria Era, dealing with tarot cards, fortune telling, Occultism, Old Gods, and "Beyonders" in this world.

No new cards or knowledge appears from anything, does that mean I have found everything or am I missing something?

hey yes, this demo only has like abt 15-mins of gameplay, if you cannot draw any new cards it basically means you have got all cards this demo has.

Really enjoyed the bit I have played so far, I do hope you add a save function of some sort. I like how you made the physical body htis thing you have to manage un the middle of quite the chaotic set of events

hey I’m glad that you enjoy the game. If I got time to continue developing the game I will surely add more functions.

Hi
I loved the idea how this game works and I want to play it so much, but sadly I can get the end game content with +/- 1h. I seached a little and as I know you have a lot of other games that you are currently creating, so my questions are: Will you consider searching for help to advace this specific game or even public source code so others like me could push it futher even to sequance 0?

Hi!

I really enjoyed the game! What's the furthest level to progress in this game? I somehow got stuck at lvl 9 and don't know what to do... It's probably something to do with a "Sleep" cars, but i didn't rolled anything in 20+ attempts...

Hi,

You almost been through pretty much all the content that I have right now. I currently just progressed to Lv9 contents. Glad you enjoy the game, I will try to keep developing in the future!

how much of the game is completed?

Just how much you saw here dude, about 5 - 10 minutes

How do you save?

Haven’t made a save function yet actually

Are there any spoilers to lotm?

well not really, it’s basically some flavor text and the sequence setting from lotm, a little bit but won’t affect your enjoyment of the original novel.

Juanjo and I just played together and had a lot of fun. Interesting mechanics stressed out with my one physical body!!

lol glad that you guys enjoy it. Also surprised that you didn’t try at the showcase I was just next to you lol
