Necromancer Heretic
A downloadable game
You were a Void Sorcerer under the Solar King.
After your tryst with the Prince was discovered, you were banished and the Prince was executed.
In desperation, you’ve returned to perform an unsanctioned resurrection on the Prince.
What is this?
Necromancer Heretic is a solo card and journaling game. You are a sorcerer who wishes to bring your lover back from the dead. Complete the resurrection ritual and escape before you are killed by the king’s guard! Using just a deck of cards and blackjack mechanics, you’ll need some skill and a bit of luck to survive!
Note that this game has references to violence, death, and blood.
What do I need to play?
In addition to the game rules, you need a standard deck of cards with jokers removed, paper, and something to write with. The game length depends on how much time is spent journaling, but can take 1+ hours.
What's included?
The game is a 28-page pdf with lots of great illustrations.
It is formatted to be printed as a 5.5'' x 8.5'' booklet.
Download includes:
- 28-page game pdf (single page and spreads version)
