Back of Beyond

An occult strategy card game. Place facilities, build your follower deck, and forge Eldritch Power from the resonance of Faith and Devotion to resist the invading Eldritch Gods. At the far edge of piety and madness, grow your secret cult.

Recruit animal townsfolk with their own motives into your cult—from housewives seeking redemption to farmers preaching the apocalypse and scholars thirsting for forbidden knowledge. Collect dozens of cultist cards across four species: Avians, Felines, Canines, and Ursines. Build and fine-tune your deck to create powerful synergies and generate a steady flow of Faith.

Build a range of facilities across the grid, from everyday buildings like churches and banks to perilous abyssal caverns. Position them strategically to resonate with adjacent follower cards and generate Devotion for your cult.

As rifts in time and space unleash the Eldritch Gods upon the town, only true zeal can bring salvation. Combine the Faith your cult has gathered with the Devotion awakened by your facilities to forge Eldritch Power strong enough to slay gods. With only a few turns to prepare, repel incursions from Gnophkehs, Formless Spawn, and other Eldritch horrors, and defend your cult's sanctuary.

Encounter an enigmatic secretary, a relentless investigator, and an elusive tycoon. Every decision—driven by dogma, morality, or greed—can shape the fate of your cult.

Every demise is a new revelation. In this roguelite loop, unlock new cultist cards, powerful facilities, and ancient relics with every run. Piece together the ancient pact between Mist Town and the true deities, walk the precarious boundary between devotion and madness, and uncover the ultimate secrets of the Back of Beyond.
