Discover our first game ↓Our first game
A roguelike deckbuilder where your cards are both your actions and your resources.
Somewhere in the ruins, someone is still alive. Every card you play is a resource spent — an irreversible choice. Your provisions run dry, the horde closes in. You build, adapt, die — and go again.
Free demo on Steam: play as the Warrior or the Sniper.

Hauteroche Studio is one game designer, a lot of coffee and a green valley watched over by a ruined castle. The name comes from the medieval ruins of Haute-Roche, which overlook the village of Dourbes in Viroinval.
