Inearth

Inearth is a tactical, turn-based wizarding game and roguelite deckbuilder. You play as Subject Yellow, one of the ordinary people abducted by VEIL for an inherited ability to manipulate matter. Your mission is to descend into the Hollow Earth, reach a Gate and sever its Worldroot branch from the other side. Closing the Gate strands you on an alien world, giving mankind a little more time.

The world below

Beneath Earth's crust lies Inearth, a vast Underworld of ancient beings, alien life and human settlements. Myths dismissed as superstition were distorted accounts of what waited below. Mankind descended with scientists, soldiers and machinery to understand, settle and subdue Inearth, but its expansion reawakened the Worldroot, an ancient organism whose branches connect distant worlds. New Gates open every day, bringing extraterrestrial horrors through.

Tactical combat

You move into position, throw and teleport enemies, combine spell effects and use the environment to gain an advantage. The battlefield can change as you spill, freeze or burn substances. Gather cards, modify your spells and adapt to each run.

Substances and reactions

Substances and damage types interact with the environment, enemies and each other. Electric damage travels through connected Water and can hit several enemies, while freezing Water stops it from conducting your attack back to you. Igniting Oil causes a chain reaction that damages and pushes nearby enemies.

Health types also respond differently to damage and healing. Heat harms Organic creatures but heals Golemic ones; healing restores Organic health but damages the Damned. You can mix Blood with Alkahest to make Azoth and recover health, turn a Toxic creature's Bile into explosive Vitriol, or convert Phlegm into Verdigris and step into it to gain Shield each turn. Psychic damage can travel through Melancholia to hit several enemies with one spell.
