About the Game

Golgothian is a party-based tactical card RPG. Each round you read telegraphed enemy intent, queue every hero’s cards, then watch the whole turn resolve at once. Queue the right cards across party members and they fuse into cross-class combo attacks like Tempest Oath and Beast Flurry. Between fights you pick routes on a branching map, spend gold at shops, gear survivors, and grow each hero’s deck — until the run ends, and the codex remembers what you found.
