Ruin Weaver

You are the last Weaver of a fallen city, pulling fate-threads from its rubble and its dead.

Every card you play weaves a colored thread onto the Loom — a band of ten slots that persists across your whole fight. Play a Pattern's sequence in order and it fires, tying those threads into a permanent Knot. Crimson, Crimson, Crimson deals ten damage. Bone, Bone raises a guard. Gilt, anything, Gilt gives energy back.

So your deck isn't the only thing you're building. It's the order.

The twist: your known Patterns compete with each other. A short Pattern fires the instant it matches — and steals the threads a longer one was waiting for. Learning a new Pattern can quietly ruin the one you were building toward, which makes forgetting one of the most powerful things you can do at a Loomshrine.

And the ruin knows it. Enemies don't just hit your health — they attack your weave. The Widow snips your newest thread. The Feltmaw devours your oldest. The Motley Dyer recolors one mid-sequence. The Knot-Golem eats the knots you've already earned, and grows stronger every time you tie a new one.

What's in it

• Two acts, thirty floors — branching maps of fights, campfires, merchants, Loomshrines, and stranger rooms
• Four bosses, including the Severed Matriarch, who takes at most 1 damage per hit until you tear her three Veils away — and only completing a Pattern tears one
• ~50 cards, 20 Patterns, 13 relics, 14 enemies, all hand-illustrated in cut-paper
• The Ruin meter — greed raises it, rest lowers it, and each of its four Seals makes the ruin crueler and more generous
• The Great Tapestry — every Pattern you ever complete is stitched into a permanent record that unlocks new cards, relics, and a second starting loadout
• The Pattern Codex — five secret Patterns no scroll will ever teach you. Weave one by accident and it reveals itself forever
• The Fraying — a five-level ascension ladder for after your first win
• Daily Weave — everyone gets the same map each day
• The Unraveling — a hard mode with no saves, half your health, and enemies that hit twice as hard. It has been beaten. Barely.
