Ritual is an old tech too.

A little flight of fancy about rituals and a village, set in a strange world. You need to protect your villagers and fend off strange monsters. Huge thanks to my teammate, BOILERROOM, an incredibly talented artist. In just a few hectic days, she brought to life a wonderfully bizarre world that amazed me.

Control

Drag cards of the required type onto the altar and meet the required quantity to perform a ritual.

Drag villagers onto different cards to put them to work.

Drag cards onto another card to play.

Press Space to pause or resume the game.

You can still drag cards while the game is paused.

Watch the progress bar beneath each monster. When it fills up, the monster will attack you.

You can drag to pan around your play area and use the mouse wheel to zoom in or out.

Goal

Protect your villagers and keep performing rituals to receive blessings. Use these blessings and your own hard work to fight off monsters. Defeat the final boss to win! Be careful—if you lose all your villagers, for any reason, it’s game over.

We had a lot of fun making this game, and we hope you have just as much fun playing it!

V1.1 Added a Settings button, where you can adjust the BGM volume and restart the game.

Villagers now retain their work progress when dragged a short distance and returned to their original workplace.

Adjusted how far cards fly out, making them less likely to leave the screen.

Added a villager-related hint during the first sacrifice—or perhaps an Easter egg.
