Pay your Deeds

Pay your Deeds is a roguelike deck-builder played on a 5×4 slot reel. You are in debt to the Sector, which expects another payment every few days. Spin the reel to collect Scrap Credits and add Symbols to your build, combining effects to earn enough before each Deed is due. If you cannot pay, the run ends.

Build your reel

During a run, you can add Symbols, remove ones that do not work for your build, and reroll, remove or modify your Symbol pool. Symbols can generate resources, multiply values, consume or destroy other Symbols, transform them, or trigger effects from elsewhere on the reel. Payments increase in difficulty, so a Symbol that seems strong may still undermine your build.

Each run can develop in a different direction. You might start with Medical Symbols and build around Rot, turn Tools into a Tech engine, use Hazards as fuel, or build around Animals, Trade, Power, Arsenal or Salvage. These archetypes are not classes; they are elements you can mix according to what a run offers.

Deeds and factions

The game includes 24 Deeds with increasingly difficult payment requirements, five creditor factions with their own identities and progression, 35 Power Store upgrades and 20 Side Contracts. Multiple Clearance Levels and progression systems are also included.

The Sector

The game takes place inside Sector XP, a decaying operating system from the early 2000s. Deeds, mail, contracts, upgrades, faction messages and run records all appear within the same machine, which is also where the game itself takes place.

Additional modes and records

Endless Mode lets builds continue beyond the normal game. The game also keeps persistent local statistics, records and achievements, and can be played fully offline.
