In this roguelike deckbuilder, you cut the cards... literally! With scissors! You can recombine the cut-outs to form new cards, and you can play your custom cards in combat or in text-based dialogue events. The game has a custom natural language processing engine that will determine the special effects of each new card you make.
(Note: This game does not include a "large language model" nor GPT-like AI.)

Features:

Custom card creation. As you play, you'll discover hundreds of cards. When choosing which cards to take, you have to not only consider the card's effects itself, but also what cards you could create from it.
Card battles with physics-based simulations. When you shoot arrows at an enemy, there's not just a generic slashing animation. Instead, arrows fly out towards your enemy and collide (or not!) with them.
Text-based events. Every event can have serious consequences. Do you choose to help a goblin in need, hoping for a reward, guessing that he won't try to steal one of your cards?
Play your cards even outside of combat. Special purple options appear during dialogue if you have a card that could be useful. These options usually give you additional rewards. Carefully consider how to balance your deck between combat and non-combat cards to successfully traverse the continent.
Complex elemental system. Each enemy has their own vulnerabilities, resistances, and immunities. If you try to attack an enemy wearing chainmail with a dagger, it won't be so effective. But try shocking them with lightning, and it might just double the damage!
Nonlinear exploration in a randomly generated map. Each time you play, a new map with different arrangements of biomes, settlements, and rivers is generated. You can choose to backtrack, but you'll have to keep an eye on your rations. The maps are in hand-drawn style (and if you want an authentic version without colors, you can choose that in settings!)

Cut the Cards v0.1.5: Art overhaul, full controller support, and more!

Hello everyone!\n\nI\'ve been working hard on Cut the Cards over the past year, despite the lack of recent updates. Finally, Cut the Cards has full controller support, and the art rework is done! I\'ve uploaded this build as v0.1.5 for playtesters. This is the largest update to date, with something like 10000 lines of code and 300 art assets added since v0.1.4.\n\nThere\'s been a ton of stuff changed, way too much to list, but I\'ll just show off a quick screen grab for now: \n\n Game Description Image \n\nAfter this, I anticipate there only being 1-2 more updates before I can release the demo publicly.\n\nRegarding the full game\'s release date, I\'ve tentatively moved it to 2026. When I originally published the release date as 2025, I thought I would be working on this game full-time. However, I received an employment offer that was too good to turn down, so I\'ve been continuing to work on Cut the Cards part-time ever since. I am the only developer working on this project, so I hope you can understand the delay :)
