Horresco Referens

Horresco Referens is a card adventure game in which you play as a soldier from an alien race exiled from its home stellar system. Your mission is to prevent neighboring civilizations from colonizing your new home and stabilize the seven stars around your stellar system. If you die, another soldier takes your place.

Explore the stars

You can visit seven stellar systems, each with planets and moons to explore. Cities on these worlds contain shops and characters. Your dialogue choices lead to different outcomes.

Shape civilizations

Five civilizations have different histories, units and bosses to fight. Each evolves according to its population, the services its inhabitants consume and the energy those services cost. You can manipulate these factors, while the dynamic board allows civilizations to evolve, colonize new stars or disappear.

Build your deck

The game has 100 cards, including bonus and ephemeral cards. You start with 20 cards in your base collection and unlock others by completing objectives; bonus and ephemeral cards can be bought in shops. After each death, you start again from your stellar system and choose two of the five civilizations. Your new deck can contain cards only from those chosen civilizations.
