Hello all, Lotus Games here, and I would like to share with you guys a nearly released game we have been passionately working on for about a year now: Didgery.
What is Didgery?
Didgery is a game of power…
Didgery is a game of struggle…
Didgery is a game of cards…
Didgery is a single player casual card/puzzler graced with an epic fantasy atmosphere. Set in a world doomed by an unforgiving curse, you have been summoned by the ancients to fulfill your duty as Bearer and restore Earth’s harmony. Maintain the equilibrium of the world’s sacred elements (Heart, Spade, Diamond, and Club) by chaining together The Forgotten Cards. Neglect your duty and the Earth will plummet into Hell.
Check out our trailer to get a more solid idea of how gameplay works:
In addition to the strategic and rewarding gameplay, Didgery also features an unlockable storyline and an unlockable card system. The storyline follows the thoughts of Axia, the supreme protector of Didgery’s throne and the first creature created by Didgery. We can’t really say anymore without spoiling the plot, so we’ll leave it up to you to unlock the story and read it for yourself. The special cards that can be unlocked have the ability to radically change how the game is played, and opens up new venues of thought and strategy not possible before unlocking the card.
We aren’t the only ones who think Didgery is a pretty sweet game. Playtesters have had great things to say as well:
”…an exceptionally beautiful game.”
“This is a really, really polished card game. I love it!”
“Exactly the sort of game that I like (a sort of card patience on steroids)”
