Carnholt is a roguelike deckbuilder where your deck building and your strategic positioning will determine the outcome of every battle. Place creatures on the battlefield to overwhelm your enemies and scavenge their corpses to play powerful spells.
Choose a companion, a unique creature that will accompany you in every battle and will change your playstyle with unique abilities. Find cards and relics that synergize with them, complete quests and upgrade your creatures to progress. As you venture deeper, corruption will take hold, giving you dangerous and game warping powers.
Years ago a god died. He journeyed into Carnholt, the place where the divine comes to rot, and started to fade. But something still held him in this world and he refused death, breaking the laws of nature. The player must kill him again and again until he accepts his fate. To do this they will have to venture deep within the decaying forest, meet its strange inhabitants and uncover its secrets.
The game is created and illustrated by me (Maxime Minard). I’m an illustrator first, I painted for Magic the Gathering, Dungeons and dragons and other Ttrpg before deciding to make a game.I worked as a solo developer on Carnholt and used the personal illustrations I made during the last 5 years as a basis to create mechanics and a world for the game.
