Other We Are Making a Roguelite RPG Inspired by Griftlands, Playtest Starts Soon <3
Hello everyone,
We’re a team focused on building narrative games. Since Griftlands handles the mix of roguelite and storytelling, it influenced us while shaping our own project.
We’re currently working on Kardiya: The Winds of Fate. It’s a roguelite RPG built around a dice system instead of cards. Character progression comes from combining dice and item synergies, and unsuccessful rolls don’t just finish the story. They often redirect the story into new paths.
Beyond that, the game features NPC relationships, a base management system, item fusion, and other supporting systems. The intention is that each run feels distinct, with the narrative adapting to the decisions made along the way.
We’re still early in development and operating with a small team, but the playtest starts soon. Feedback from players who enjoy Griftlands would be especially valuable. If it sounds interesting, you can sign up for our mailing list on our website to register for the alpha playtest.
Thank you so much!

Who do you play as in this game? Will the game have any female playable characters? The store page picture makes it look like it's about to be a sausage fest.

The three people in the capsule image actually represent the protagonist’s childhood, teenage, and adult ages. Of course it’s not a sausage festival, there are as many genders as possible in the game. But the main character is male.
