ReSoul: Jack

ReSoul: Jack is a blackjack roguelike set in an underworld gambling hall. Your soul is about to be devoured by Ammit, but you are offered a chance at reincarnation: survive for twelve hours until dawn by paying chips as tribute.

Blackjack for tribute

Each in-game hour has up to three blackjack rounds. You must earn enough chips in those attempts to meet Ammit’s quota. If you fall short, either by missing the quota or losing too many chips to pay, you must cover the remaining cost with your own soul.

Each round presents nine face-down cards. Their relative order is revealed, giving you clues about which cards are higher or lower without identifying their exact values. You choose cards and try to get as close to 21 as possible, while exceeding the dealer’s target score to earn chips. Your chip reward is the difference between your total and the target score, multiplied by item-based bonuses.

Items and card odds

After clearing each in-game hour, you receive an item. Items can increase multipliers based on your cards, boost score differences or alter underlying statistics. Since Ammit’s required tribute rises over time, choosing and combining items effectively helps you keep up with the demands.

Between rounds, you can also adjust the probability distribution of the cards. The available adjustments are random, but can help you make better use of your items.
