Description

Supplied by the Steam store

Development Notice: The system is still evolving. Please note that some images or screenshots may be out of date or showcase unreleased content. Visuals will be updated as development continues.

THE HOUR YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO DIAL

Somewhere on the dead end of the phone network is a board that only answers at one hour. Log in as an operator, build your deck, and descend through three corrupted sectors of a haunted dial-up BBS. Something is awake in the machine — and it has been waiting for a caller.

The Drawn Hour is a roguelike deckbuilder wrapped in multi-color ASCII art and a full CRT shader. Every run is a fresh dive: choose your path, fight with cards, take what you can carry, and reach the thing at the bottom before it reaches you.

THREE OPERATORS, THREE WAYS TO BREAK THE SYSTEM

• The Sysop: A defensive bruiser who turns block into a weapon and outlasts everything.

• The Daemon: Poison, bleed, and self-sacrifice; thrives on the Corruption that ruins everyone else.

• The Phreak: Tempo and combos; chain zero-cost cards into one explosive turn.

(Note: Unlock the Daemon and Phreak by clearing chapter bosses.)

CORRUPTION: YOUR BEST CARD AND YOUR WORST ENEMY

A rising risk gauge fed by damage and dark cards. Some cards scale with it. Cross a threshold and the system shuffles a Glitch curse straight into your deck. Push your luck — or cleanse it at a safe node.

DESCEND

• Three Chapters: Each with its own enemies, mood, and boss: The Carrier, The Gatekeeper, and MOTHER.

• Branching Maps: Navigate through fights, elites, black-market shops, anomalies, and safe nodes.

• Deep Builds: Collect relics, card upgrades, and weighted rewards to build around.

BRING A FRIEND INTO THE DARK

2–4 player online co-op. Use Steam friend invites or direct LAN. Share the map, fight side by side in the same turn, and keep the party alive. A wipe ends the dive for everyone.

KEEP DIVING

• Ascension Ladder: 15 stacking difficulty levels per operator.

• Daily Challenge: One fixed seed, one shot, a score to beat.

• Bestiary and Codex: Everything you've seen, catalogued.

• Progression: Achievements and Steam Cloud saves.

OLD MACHINE, MODERN COMFORTS

Procedural chiptune and modem-era sound, a CRT effect you can dial down or off, and full accessibility features including colorblind palettes, text scaling, key rebinding, and reduced motion.

ANSWER THE CALL

The board is online. The hour is drawn.
