Character Abyss

Character Abyss is a turn-based card-roguelike where Chinese characters are your cards.

Choose a class—Scholar or Talismanist—and descend into the procedurally generated Abyss. Navigate branching paths, battle spirit-characters, and build your deck by combining characters mid-combat.

• Character Synthesis — Combine two characters to forge a new card. "Fire" + "Mountain" = "Volcano," with a unique effect..
  
  
• Turn-Based Combat — Build your deck, manage resources, and use character cards with effects rooted in each character's meaning.
  
  
• Multiple Classes — Scholar synthesizes on the fly mid-combat; Talismanist pre-crafts powerful talismans.
  
  
• Roguelike Progression — Procedurally generated maps, branching paths, enemy encounters, and events. Death is not the end—unlocked characters and progress carry over.
  
  
• Meta-Progression — Stronghold workshops, codex collection, and cross-run unlocks.
