Teufelskreis

Teufelskreis is an occult roulette roguelike deckbuilder about gambling your way out of an employment contract. You place wagers and play tarot cards to manipulate their outcomes. A possessed corporate AI bets against you and corrupts the table, forcing you to meet each quota before your spins, or your life, runs out.

Bet. Spin. Survive.

You're not just playing the odds. Something is playing against you.

Every spin, the machine places a wager of its own. A color, a number, a whole column, or something worse. It means to collect. Spend to overwrite its bet before the ball drops, or gamble that it misses. Guess wrong, and it gets paid.

Build a deck that shouldn't work & hunt rule bending artifacts

• Draft a card after every encounter and shape your run around what you find.
• Spend between rounds to buy, upgrade, and cut dead weight from your deck.
• Hunt & unlock rule-bending artifacts. Permanent objects that change how you bet, spin, earn, and survive.
• Stack effects until a single spin spirals into an impossible turn.

Chart your route through the Contract

Between tables, choose your path across a shifting map: safer encounters, dangerous elites for bigger rewards, hidden treasures, and rest stops to sharpen your deck before the next clause comes due.

OPCORP - "We see what comes next."

A routine errand to the company archives ends at an old terminal that knows your name,
your employee number, and the quota it says you owe. The elevator locks behind you. The
only way out is through the Contract.

Step away from the table and explore the archive around it. Solve its riddles, unlock
sealed rooms, and dig through correspondence of OPCORP employees to uncover how its world-changing
Assistant came to be and what is really running through it...

The Undersigned acknowledges that they have read and understood the foregoing. The Undersigned has not, and could not have. By continuing, the Undersigned agrees to play.[/p]

Termination is the only exit.
