Aita: The Dark Domain

Aita: The Dark Domain is a roguelite card game set in the Etruscan underworld. Play solo or with up to three friends as Haruspices, ritual priests sent below the earth to seal the dead back inside Aita.
Every card is both an attack and a choice. Spend your strongest cards too early and you may not survive the counterattack. Hold back too long and the underworld will grind you down.
Four suits. Four sacred rites.
Each suit has a different power:
Clubs - The Hammer: double your damage.

Spades - The Mirror: shield against enemy attacks.

Hearts - The Libation: return spent cards to your deck.

Diamonds - The Augury: draw deeper into your hand.

Bosses are immune to their own suit, so every fight asks a different question: do you chase damage, rebuild your deck, defend for later, or risk a draw when the next attack is coming?

Build around Blessings.
Choose a starting Blessing before each run, then find more at campfire stops between acts. Blessings change the rules in your favor, pushing you toward different styles of play:
Hammer builds that turn Clubs into brutal killing blows.

Augur builds that manipulate draws and shape the deck.

Shield-Bearer builds that survive attacks other players cannot.

Haruspex, Beastmaster, Merchant, Haggler, and Uprising builds with their own strange advantages.

Curses that offer power with a real cost.

There are over 100 Blessings to unlock, collect, and master. Winning with a Blessing as your starter marks it as mastered, giving long-term goals beyond a single clear.
Survive the descent.
Each run sends you through three acts of underworld enemies: Tormentors, Fates, and Lords of the Dead. You fight 12 regular battles drawn from 28 boss variants, with act modifiers that warp the rules of combat.
One act might punish long fights. Another might rot the suits you rely on. Another might tax your cards, your Obols, or your ability to play combos safely.
Between acts, the campfire gives you a chance to prepare:
Buy new Blessings.

Trade cards to reshape your hand.

Spend Obols earned from perfect kills and overkill rewards.

Risk random events for stranger advantages.

Face the Heralds.
Survive the three acts and the Herald Gauntlet begins. Three Heralds are chosen from a pool of six, each with their own combat rules and suit affinity.
Defeat them, and Aita rises.
Aita is not just the final boss. He inherits the powers of the Heralds you defeated, then adds the River of Fire, a finale mechanic that burns through your discard pile and deck as the battle drags on.
Play alone or together.
Aita supports solo play and 1-4 player co-op. In co-op, every player brings their own hand, Blessing choices, and risks to the table. You share the same descent, but every turn belongs to one player, so timing and coordination matter.
