Charon's Obol

"Boldness is the beginning of action, but fortune controls how it ends." - Democritus

Challenge Death himself in a coin-flipping roguelike where every choice balances risk and reward. Build a tableau of mythical coins and manipulate fate itself in a desperate journey across the River Styx.

BUILD YOUR TABLEAU

Strategically collect a wide variety of mythical coins, each with unique powers and synergies. Carefully expand your tableau as your build evolves from fragile beginnings into an engine of perfect probability, insatiable greed, and clever combinations.

Every coin has two faces, and every flip may change your fate.

CALL UPON THE MIGHT OF OLYMPUS

Choose a divine patron to guide you on your journey through the Underworld. Each grants unique powers and playstyles, allowing you to experiment with radically different strategies across runs.

DESCEND INTO THE UNDERWORLD

Overcome deadly trials, banish terrifying monsters, and confront legendary bosses as you descend into the darkness. Examine your map to scout ahead, and plan your strategy carefully.

Death is infinite. Death is patient.
