Secret of Circadia is a retro pixel styled RPG Deckbuilder that combines light City Builder elements and Roguelite mechanics with classic Deckbuilder Combat to create a unique, quirky, cute and fun blend!
In Secret of Circadia you control one of nature's elemental avatars: Water, Fire, Earth or Air and their respective Circadian Army - fruit and vegetables brought to life by Nature's Goddess Circadia, locked in a struggle against Syntropy, a rogue AI that's corrupted nature and enslaved humanity.Â
At its core, Secret of Circadia gameplay and deckbuilding revolves around a day & night cycle and weather, both which influence cards and enemies alike.
Most Circadian Army cards have one function during daytime and another during night. Enemies also have different attacks, strengths and weaknesses during day and night. Some cards even give you control over the time of day itself, so you can use these strengths and weaknesses to your advantage, and some cards have what we call QTE mini-games to unlock their full power. Added to this is a weather system that provides even more opportunities for exciting synergies and effects.
To help you battle a nature corrupted by the rogue AI Syntropy, you have the Hamlet: your place of power. It is here you can spend the resources you find during your adventures to build buildings that unlock new Circadian Army cards and new Totems, build buildings that give you the ability to grow and fuse cards, building that unlock unique Circadian Elite unites - sidekicks - that will help you in combat, buildings that let you further power up each elemental, and some buildings even let you take control of the weather!
Secret of Circadia tells the story of what happens when humanity's hubris finally goes too far. It's a story that will teach players the importance of sustainability as well as the dangers of relying too heavily on technology (and especially the dangers and risks of letting AI control too much of our lives), and finally what can happen if we ignore nature's cries for help for too long.
