Our take on Menace from the Deep
The defining structure is its travel-card system, which organizes movement, locations, and events within repeated expeditions.
What is Menace from the Deep?
Menace from the Deep is a roguelike deckbuilding card game set in a dark version of 1920s America.
Players choose from three heroes, each with a distinct battle-card deck and fighting style. Travel cards shape journeys through different locations and events. Collected cards can be upgraded, while relics, equipment, and consumables provide additional inventory choices. Many relics can be assembled into collections. Materials gathered during expeditions can be used to construct upgrades for later journeys. The story follows a secret occult society and the mystery of the Heart of the Sea, a strange monolith. Allies can join battles or be summoned through rituals, items, or cards. Memory fragments reveal the hidden secrets of society members.
