GAMBLING ADDICTION 1

Prologue episode to DARKHAND, an upcoming indie card battle RPG. Will you be able to make it out of the casino without paying off your debts?

<h2 class="bb_tag" style="text-align: center">NOTE: The Demo will be updated regularly with new content and fixes until June of 2026.</h2>The first builds will be HEAVILY limited and focused on the gameplay side, as I polish everything up and finish the story. A lot rests on the PROLOGUE's shoulders, and I would not want to rush the chapter, but I also need to open up the demo as soon as possible for public feedback. This is the best compromise I could reach. Thank you for your patience.<picture><source srcset="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4121340/extras/e2fe204f143fd51b1fce8d3ea1e23347.apng?t=1771067652"><img src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4121340/extras/e2fe204f143fd51b1fce8d3ea1e23347.poster.avif?t=1771067652" class="bb_img" width=832 height=400 /></picture>DARKHAND is a story-driven RPG about desperation, vice, and the cost of second chances. Climb a hundred floors of artificial luxury and hidden horrors, while falling further and further down the hole of one-sided compromises and concessions.In the short PROLOGUE episode, bond with Damian &amp; Co as they try to outplay fate itself, using card battles inspired by traditional turn-based RPG mechanics. But in this casino, especially, nothing lasts forever, and trusting anyone is a bet you make against yourself every day.This episode's scope is very small compared to the full game, but you will still get to experience small parts of the following:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Intricate plot: The story has no shortage of twists and mysteries, and it's up to you to piece everything together.</li><li>Card-based combat: A deceptively complex system where Spades attack, Hearts heal, Clubs defend, and Diamonds give chips, but your action bar forces you to plan each turn carefully. </li><li>Not just characters: Your actions have consequences on the people around you. Shape relationships, unlock hidden content, and reveal multiple endings.</li><li>Unique soundtrack: Traverse through the game listening to over a hundred tracks of different styles and genres, landing anywhere from synthwave to chiptune, rock, or even orchestral.</li><li>Plenty of side content: Includes gambling minigames such as plinko and 1980's inspired videogames.</li><li>Stylized retro visuals: 16-bit era inspired art under a layer of (optional) dream-like effects.</li></ul>
