The Fold

A gambling game played in space where you've only got a single card on hand. Will you fold? Or will you find your way back home?

You were seven light-years away from earth when
your vessel got smashed to bits by a stray comet.

You survive the impact. You wish you hadn't.

Adrift between stars, all you can do now
is wait for the oxygen to run out.

Out of the void, a poker table
suddenly manifests before you.

You can't explain how or why,
but the deal on the table is clear:
keep playing and you'll get back home.

Poker with a twist

You've only got a single card on hand.
Play it or fold it - just make sure you don't
run out of chips or it's game over.

Power up

Play Devil and Saint cards to unlock new abilities.
Stack synergies and beat the odds.

Close the distance

Chain smart plays, bank chips, and level up.
Every level gets you closer to Earth and raises the stakes.

Controls

Use the mouse or arrow keys to move
the card up & down to Play or Fold.

Later on, virtue cards may also unlock
actions left & right for Leap and Hold.

Platform

The game is currently best played on desktop.
It runs fairly well on Android, but doesn't perform great on iPhone
( Safari will shut down the game after a few minutes
of play due to memory usage - this issue is unique to Safari ).

Third party assets were used in the creation of this game:

Not Jam's Space Generator.

Music by Frequency From The Void.

Sound effects by Stormwave Audio and Epic Stock Media.

The poker chips where based on sprites offered by Screaming Brain Studios.

Finally, a huge thanks to my fiancé for encouraging me to complete this project.
