TOMEBOUND

Inspired by games like Slay the Spire, Tomebound takes place in the mind of an author dealing with the robbery of her book. Interact with characters to gain cards and take part in fights to learn about the story and see how you would have reacted as a player.

Concept: Tomebound is a narrative card game where the player have to craft his deck to fight different enemies. The game takes place in the mind of Mia, an author in the Victorian Era. Each enemy is a portrayal of the way Mia reacted to the stealing of her book and each character represent way to approach a conflict. By interacting with the characters in the train, the player will gain new informations on the story of the game and new cards with effects depending on which characters he supported.
