Twenty-seven gigs stand between you and getting off this stage — three fights per circle, nine circles deep, with a boss waiting at the end of each one.

Vestibule is a roguelike deckbuilder about building a band, stacking riffs, and hitting hard enough to kill things that are already dead.

Every fight gives you a set number of Strikes — four, most runs. Between them you play cards: riffs that buff your members, utility that keeps you alive, embers that pay for all of it.

Then you Strike, and every member swings at once — one multiplier cascade of cards, riff chains, artifacts and pedals, all stacking into a single number.

Run out of Strikes and the run is over. There is no overtime.

Eighteen musicians across nine roles — guitarists, a drummer, a synth player, a vocalist, and a few things that aren't technically people.

Ten keywords define how they play, and they stack: FRENZIED, BLASTBEAT, DISSONANCE, DIRGE, ANCHOR, TRICKSTER, and more. Where they stand on the stage matters as much as who they are.

Certain cards, played back to back in the same Strike, chain into each other for a real multiplier spike.

The chains aren't listed anywhere in the UI. You find them by playing.

Two phases. 6,660 HP. He gets a full heal between them and fresh strikes of his own.

About one run in a hundred sees him dead. He is meant to be a wall.

The band, the decks, all nine circles and Lucifer are built and running. What's left before launch is balance, polish, and whatever more playtesting turns up.

A free demo lands first — six gigs, all of Circle II.
