This was a cool game that had a rad concept and ran with it! The card game itself is simple to understand with each utility feeling meaningful. Loved the entire atmosphere. From the graphics, sound design, and rising tension with the flames building the background. It feels so satisfying when you're able to steamroll The Host with well-timed item usage, but that's also with the downside of it feeling really awful when he can do it right back to you. I do in fact fear death. Sometimes the RNG just is not in your favor whatsoever. My first game was incredibly unlucky with The Host getting three crowbars, being able to take all the fire extinguishers as soon as I earned them since you can't use an item after you've flipped a card. But like I said, when you get a bit of lady luck on your side and are able to protect your tower efficiently it's a wonderful feeling. Wish I could gloat and rub it in his face haha.
Really really enjoyed this game and I can't wait to see the full version!
If the only card remaining on the opponent's field is his tower, and it's your turn, and you have a gas can, you should be able to use it on his tower for an alternate, more brutal ending imo. Burning all the red spaces immediately around his tower should also confer some advantage? Early win? Forced second turn? But yeah still awesome stuff, success is largely luck but the part you can control (quality) is already nailed
This is insanely cool. I loved Buckshot Roulette too, this made me very happy to play... I like the twist! Will wishlist and buy for same price as buckshot
REALLY COOL GAME. But i think there should be more LORE. And make the game a little bit harder cuz i beat the game first try on the normal difficulty. Either way this game is amazing. 10/10 worth my time.
Love how the back catches fire... Had a suspicion this was inspire by buckshot roulette when I saw the art style! This is very good for me! Looking forward to the multiplayer!
The atmosphere is fine and it has an interesting concept, but the gameplay turned kinda boring to me, the items don't have a lot of strategy, aside from the spyglass, it plays like a waiting game, and becomes tedious very quickly
ok cool game i almost have a 10/10 but whenever i don't play on fair most of my side of the field is take another turn. 10 FUCKING REDO CARDS!!! and he kept drawing fire extinguishers. i do hope the full version dosnt pull crap like that. outside of that it is vary fun and id like to play this irl with a friend....not the burning to death part in collapsing fire towers just the card game.
Very cool card game, the atmosphere makes the duel very stressful and gripping. The utility animations are very good and do not break the dynamic. The opponent looks like Psychomantis but he couldn't read my mind so I won my first game (a fair game of course). Congrats !!!
Very interesting game! I thought it was impossible to win even though the difficulty was normal because I had to try several times but finally I managed to win. Even though I tried several times, I didn't feel bored but enjoyed it. Nice demo...
It is so frustating, the enemy always have beter chance to win and very little chance to counter attack. And the animation scenes is really great but the durations is too long it's getting old quickly without a way to skip it. Great demo game overall

love it, very fun and strategic

Really enjoyed the game and the atmosphere. Reminds me of a board game "Fire tower" Execution is also amazing. Lots of potential here.
thanks for playing!

Yeah I'm planning to make a few changes so hopefully the game isn't quite as painful.
this game is amazing
super fun and love the style
glad you had fun!
Superb! You've got a winner on your hands for sure, once a few big streamers catch wind of this.
lol maybe one day eventually.
I got Joe Bartolozzi, but Caseoh remains ELUSIVE.

thanks for playing!

thanks!
Will charge pretty much the same amount.
I love it but the crowbar is so unfun when he has it cuz i cant pick any items up
yea planning to remove it's ability to steal other crowbars.
REALLY COOL GAME. But i think there should be more LORE. And make the game a little bit harder cuz i beat the game first try on the normal difficulty. Either way this game is amazing. 10/10 worth my time.
sneak peek for full release (WIP) 👀
If you want more lore, i think this game extends from the same universe that ">HAL_4" takes place in.
Both games make references to the town of "GladderVines", an anagram for "Devils Garden".
Though that game has ceased development due to scope creep, poor execution, and lack of commercial viability.
The demo is still available here on steam.
Love how the back catches fire... Had a suspicion this was inspire by buckshot roulette when I saw the art style! This is very good for me! Looking forward to the multiplayer!
heres hoping!
how do I hide demos from the free games search
¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯
thanks for playing!
GRAAAAAAHHH 🗣🔥🔥🦅
THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME NOWWWW
Este juego me da muy buenas sensaciones para un gran futuro
Great game, finished fair and normal. Gonna try to k*ll the host and break out of the cabin with the crowbars and other items.
thanks for playing!

true. hopefully i can figure out something better by release.
Very interesting and fun game, but i think all this Items takes too long to appear and to store, which makes a game too long
yea i get a lot of requests to do somthing abt that.
think ill just slap in a fast forward button lol.
Very fun game with charming ps1 graphics. I added this game to my steam wishlist immediately. Will definitely buy the full version!
yuhhhh thx!

i think the difficulty tweaks only affect the AI and his item RNG, but not where the cards are dealt.
tho im sry that 10 redraws somehow made it on ur side lol.
XD I hit 5 in a row. And just watched my side of the feild go crazy.
full version is planned to have an unlockable custom mode where you should be able to control how vicious the AI is.
so we should exspect a youtuber do this games version of all 20 mode. XD
oh man good luck to the guy to try and beat that.
Very cool card game, the atmosphere makes the duel very stressful and gripping. The utility animations are very good and do not break the dynamic. The opponent looks like Psychomantis but he couldn't read my mind so I won my first game (a fair game of course). Congrats !!!
lmao
i Finally beat him im addicted to this game. i love how you made this
i love how you played it!
Very interesting game! I thought it was impossible to win even though the difficulty was normal because I had to try several times but finally I managed to win. Even though I tried several times, I didn't feel bored but enjoyed it. Nice demo...
thanks for playing!
yeah normal is def more difficult to win on average.
i think fair is abt as 50/50 as it gets.
This is pretty nifty. The PS1-era graphics complement the gameplay nicely. They have this perfectly Silent Hilleque mood. Wishlisting now.
thanks!
Beautiful game mechanics. A fellow pirate will be supported today. Added the game to my steam wishlist
Game does not launch, it just opens the folder (using the itch.io desktop app)
delete all folders with "arsonate" in it and re-install.
I dont know why itch's launcher does this whenever i update the game.
very sorry.
awesome
😎
glad you enjoyed!
hope the full release goes well! 🙏
Alsome, illusion and the sfx are pretty good to Creating tension and fear. And also as a card game, it's fun and simple to understand rules.
thanks for playing!
One of the best games ever but normal i won but he still killed me.
He gets a lil crabby sometimes.
After I broke my opponent’s locker the screen froze…
sry abt that.
am unsure what could cause that....
It is so frustating, the enemy always have beter chance to win and very little chance to counter attack. And the animation scenes is really great but the durations is too long it's getting old quickly without a way to skip it. Great demo game overall
Thinkin of adding a fast forward button.
oke👍
I really liked it! I couldn't win, it's tough, but I liked it a lot
glad you liked it!
very interesting
:)
RIGGED
lmao the immediate "im sry!". 😭
I felt bad and scared 😂 mostly cause he didn’t die awesome game dude
