Grist

Grist is a sci-fi party roguelite and card battler inspired by tabletop RPGs. You explore the tiered lands of the mysterious Shell-World Atropos, seeking the source of a nightmare plague that threatens its trillions of inhabitants.

The world of Atropos

You travel through the planet’s cities, forests, oceans and other environments. The game draws on tabletop RPGs, gamebooks and classic CRPGs from the 1980s, presented with a terminal-inspired aesthetic, bass-driven music and ASCII particle effects alongside existential horror.

Build your party

You build an Order Deck by choosing party members and their equipment. Items can change how orders work and interact, while permanent upgrades improve your team’s survivability and unlock abilities that shape your build.

Plan and fight

Positioning in combat lets you avoid attacks, gain buffs and outmaneuver enemies. You plot routes across the map to focus on leveling, find advanced weaponry or take on side quests that unlock new items and classes. You also face a growing roster of bosses, each with distinct strengths and weaknesses.
