It’s been almost 5 months since the release of the free Prologue to Nadir! Over this time, you amazed us with your reception of the game – we’re heading towards 90% of positive reviews!
Now we’re working on another update, much bigger and groundbreaking than the previous ones… and we have a roadmap for you!
The upcoming update will introduce:
Double Cards
Unique for a deck building game, each card you play has 2 sides with totally different effects – they’re applied by playing them on either the blue or red ability of your enemy. Sounds tricky? It is, and gives so many tactical opportunities!
Cards Crafting
For everyone tired of boring loot: you craft all the cards by combining 2 halves together!
Extended Progression
With each run you’ll unlock new content, bosses, abilities to be used to craft the cards, and upgrades of the city of Nadir which expand the player’s powers.
More info coming soon – stay tuned and add the game to you Wishlist!

We present you with a WIP insight into our upcoming feature - Double Cards! Two different outcomes are enclosed in a single card. Playing a Double Card on a Profanum (Red) Stella will give you a red card effect, and playing the same card on Sacrum (blue) Stella will trigger a blue card effect! Simple as that!
Join our Discord, see Double Cards in action, and let us know what you think about them!

Damnation Update
Sinners!
The time has come for you to revisit the cursed city of Nadir once again. Out of the depths of Hell, raises the updated and extended Demo of our hellish deck builder!
For those who haven't had a chance to play our game yet – In Nadir, you will embark on a roguelike adventure influenced by Dante's Divine Comedy. You’ll face powerful demons, build your deck, and progress the Deadly Sins as they cut their way through Hell. Using Sacrum and Profanum energy, plan both your and the enemy's moves, for every action you take feeds your opponent and can turn the tide.
Thanks to the feedback of our community, which is constantly growing – what pleases our hearts – we introduced some mechanics changes and new features, along with greatly improved the game visuals and atmosphere. There is a lot to show you, so…
…keep reading to learn that your wait was not in vain!
Soulshards and how to use them in battle
During your journey through the City of Nadir, with each won battle, you are earning valuable spoils. Gaining experience to develop your character, receiving cards to strengthen your deck and strategy, and earning some currencies, which can be used in various ways. You are already familiar with obols, which can be spent in the store to buy new cards, and today we are introducing to you a much more versatile and useful currency that you can use to turn the tide of victory on your side.
Shoulshards are being granted for each victory and added to your resources. The best thing about them is that they are versatile and you can use them in a few ways: To develop your character, create or upgrade Damneds, or play cards during battle, without activating enemy retaliation.
And this last feature is what we would like to explain a little wider in this section, as Character Progression and Anvil of Souls deserve separate paragraphs.
Sometimes, when you meet a powerful opponent in Nadir, and the odds are against you, it would be convenient to exploit your enemy and play a card that can turn the luck against him but will not turn the counter move stone. And now, if you have enough Soulshards – you can!
On the top-left side of the screen, you can find a special, purple stone. Not only does it show how many Soulshards you have, but also is allowing to play cards from your hand at the price of Shards. Simply drag a card you would like to play on the Soulshards Stone if you have enough of them!
Use it to your advantage when the situation is convenient, and surprise your enemy with an unexpected move!
Character development & Skill tree
We are also happy to show the first iteration of the Character Development system, which allows you to upgrade your character abilities. Anytime, when you are on the map, you can access the Character Panel with a button at the top of the screen. And after opening it, you are getting access to the Character skill tree, and the possibility to check how you can improve your avatar statistics and skills. Yet purchasing perks and skills is available only via the Rest Node which you can find on the map!
Each node represents a different upgrade, and it is your choice how you would like to develop your hero and adjust it to your strategy. All perks are purchasable by spending Solushards.
Get some Shards, and increase your Strength to improve the base damage of your cards, increase your base Hitpoints or Armor, or elevate your Will or Domination to use the help of powerful support souls!
As you are getting access to only one circle of hell in the Demo, the amount of Soulshards you can collect during your playthrough is limited. The system is also being expanded and polished in the background, but we wanted to already give you some insight and a taste of what’s to come in the full game.
Damned & Anvil of Souls
The way to the bottom of Nadir is uncertain and full of dangers, so it is good to have a companion with you. And now, you can find some tormented souls along your way, or forge them from the Soulshards to use them in battle. The Damned – as we call them – are powerful and useful assists on the battlefields, as they are sharing their strength with you, impacting the outcome of the battles.
There are tens of them already possible to be found, and among others, you will find such individuals as Ragnar Lodbrock, Emperor Nero, and Queen Mary I. Each unique Damned has a unique ability that is impacting the battlefield. One will grant you one more card on your hand, some will heal you in combat, and another one will change the modifiers of the attack or apply a convenient buff. The list of available Damneds and their skills is already quite long, and thanks to picking different souls to accompany you in your descent, the replayability of the game greatly improved.
But how to get them?
You can add some of those tormented souls to your rooster after finding special nodes on the map. One of them is the Anvil of Souls – a powerful artifact you can find on the way, and use to forge a new Damned from Soulshards, upgrade a Damned you already obtained for a price, or sell the Damneds you do not want to use and retrieve some of the shards from them. Choose carefully, as when visiting the Anvil, you can choose only one from mentioned actions to perform.
When you will find a soul that you would like to use in battle – when on the map view – open the Damned Panel with the button on the top of the screen. You will find there a possibility to drag the soul of your choice and equip it. Take note, that to use the most powerful ones, you need to have enough Will, which statistic you can upgrade in the Character Panel while visiting Rest Site.
New Map, New Visuals, New VFXes & SFXes
With our latest, redrawn from the scratch world map, you’ll never lose your way in Hell again. The city of Nadir is no longer a sterile lifeless abyss, but dripping with atmosphere, floating in scorching heat monstrosity. Be cautious while you explore the halls and streets of Nadir. Each level is distinct by the layout of nodes, eventually leading to a challenging boss fight, but with many tactical options to choose from. We’ve managed to drastically improve readability by introducing a much sharper, detailed art style and animated node icons. Just don’t cut yourself on your way down. Our hellish thicket of thorns and roses claims many every eternity!
We’ve applied several improvements to our battle scene. Along with the new visual and sound special effects, we adjusted the background to be better related to the map, and better show the vision of hell of our artists. You will face new enemies, with unique death animations, speeches, and skills. You will play new cards, with new effects, and use new features in your crusade against hell.
Our main menu has also received a much-needed upgrade. No more shall pitch-black darkness fill your background with despair! From now on feast your empty eye sockets on our gloriously sinful keyart.
The Demo is waiting for you, Sinner, so, download the update, revisit Nadir, and be sure to join our Discord and follow our Socials: Twitter and Facebook - we would be happy to share with you some behind-the-scenes action, work in progress insights, and more! It would be great to hear more of your feedback and talk with you about the game, so, feel more than welcome to let us know what you think after trying out Nadir's Demo!
Be sure to add the game to your wishlist and spread the word!

Brace yourself, as the wait is coming to an end. Very soon, you’ll be able to walk the cursed streets and halls of Nadir in an updated and extended Demo of our hellish deck builder. Today we offer you an exciting sneak peek of what’s to come.
Introducing Soulshards
In the form of a new currency comes a new mechanic – Soulshards. These valuable pieces of your defeated foes are granted with each won battle. With various distinct uses, such as developing your character, creating or upgrading Damneds, or playing cards during battle, without activating enemy retaliation, Soulshards force you to choose wisely. Will you use them to safely get out of a spicy pickle or risk dying and unlock new powerful abilities later?
Develop your Character!
The newest update brings the first iteration of the Character Development system, which allows you to upgrade your character abilities. As teased in Devlog #12, your skills are going to be arranged in a pentagram scheme. To purchase new perks, you’ll have to reach into your stash of Soulshards, while being on a freshly added Rest node.
Build up your Strength to improve the base damage of your cards, increase your base Hitpoints or Armor, or elevate your Will or Domination to use the help of powerful support souls!
Damned and Anvil of Souls
Worry not, Sinner, as you no longer have to be alone! To aid you in your struggle, now you may find The Damneds – the tormented souls of recognizable individuals such as Emperor Nero, Attila the Hun, or even Friedrich Nietzsche. Each of those has a unique ability to impact the battlefield. It can be anything from a convenient buff to a powerful ability.
Aside from finding them on the map, by using a new type of node – Anvil of Souls – you’ll be able to create or upgrade your companions, or if you don’t feel like it, just sell them for additional Soulshards.
New Map, New Visuals, New VFXes & SFXes
The heat of Hell is now harder to endure than ever! The map scene has been fundamentally redrawn to better fit the vision of our artists. We’ve applied several improvements to our battle scene.
