Heavy Wake
Explore a cursed island in a short dark-fantasy deckbuilding RPG. Recruit strange survivors, build a party of unlikely allies, and survive tactical card battles as Fyodor searches for a cure for his dying tribe.
ENTER THE CURSED ISLAND
Fyodor’s people are dying. Following an old legend, he sets out for a cursed island from which no expedition has returned. Its interior is inhabited by monsters, uneasy survivors, and people with their own reasons for remaining there.
CARDS AND COMPANIONS
Explore eerie locations, meet potential companions, and face card-driven, turn-based battles.
Every character you recruit contributes unique cards and passive effects to your deck. Build a party that suits your approach, adapt to dangerous encounters, and survive the horrors waiting beyond the shore.
A SHORT JOURNEY INTO A LARGER WORLD
Heavy Wake is a focused 30-60 minute dark-fantasy experience set within a larger world. Across its compact, hand-authored structure, you will face 7 handcrafted combat encounters, meet recruitable companions, and uncover fragments of a larger unresolved world.
NOTES FROM THE DEVELOPERS
Heavy Wake began as the opening of a larger project. As development continued, we learned enough that making that full version properly would have meant starting again from the ground up.
Rather than leave this chapter unfinished, we chose to complete and release it as a short experience. We hope you enjoy this first journey to the island, its strange inhabitants, and the world behind them.
