Court of Hearts: Masquerade Trials

Play Hearts. Break the rules. Expose the truth.

Court of Hearts: Masquerade Trials transforms Hearts into a Victorian dark-fantasy roguelike filled with powerful combinations, supernatural rule changes, masked witnesses, and courtroom deception.

Pass dangerous cards, create voids in your hand, force penalties onto your rivals, and turn the Queen of Spades into your greatest weapon. Build around Artifacts, enhanced cards, and scoring Tactics that reward clever passing, precise plays, and calculated risks.

Build a Powerful Run

In Solo Run, survive increasingly dangerous Hearts rounds while assembling a build that changes how every hand is played.

Generate Power by sending penalty cards to your opponents. Create voids through strategic passing, trigger specialized Tactics, enhance individual cards, and combine Artifacts into powerful scoring chains.

Build around strategies such as:

• Disposing of dangerous cards while void in a suit

• Passing marked cards and tracking their recipients

• Turning the Queen of Spades into a scoring weapon

• Chaining precise plays into large Power bonuses

• Protecting your limited Composure

• Risking everything on a declared Moonshot

Visit shops between rounds, improve your Tactics, enhance important cards, restore Composure, and prepare for Boss Rules that alter the foundations of Hearts.

Unlock Over 40 Artifacts

Artifacts change how you approach both Hearts and the Masquerade Trials.

Some strengthen passed cards, reward specific Tactics, protect Composure, or amplify the Queen of Spades. Others provide Trial Effects that reveal hidden details, preserve evidence, reduce the risk of a failed Challenge, or strengthen your arguments against witnesses.

Earn Profile XP through runs, story cases, and multiplayer matches. Increase your Profile Level, open gameplay-earned Artifact Packs, and choose new Artifacts to add permanently to future runs.

Artifact Packs are earned through play and provide no permanent competitive advantage.
