Graveyard Shift: A Sage's Last Stand
Released 27 October 2026 · PC · Indie, Strategy, Early Access
A dark pixel-art roguelike deckbuilder. You're the mortician the night the dead stop staying dead — turn every corpse into cards, forge them to Ascended rank, and survive 22 nights, three rule-breaking bosses, and one thing that was never meant to have a name.
Story
The Veil tore on a Monday. The dead stopped staying dead. And Aldric — Sage of the Veil, hiding from his past in a quiet mortician's job — is the only one still on shift. GRAVEYARD SHIFT™: A SAGE'S LAST STAND is a dark pixel-art roguelike deckbuilder where the dead on your table become the deck in your hands. Survive twenty-two nights across four weeks of escalating horrors, forge your cards toward their final Ascended forms, and find out what's been waiting behind the Veil the whole time. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚰ EVERY CORPSE IS A CHOICE Every body on your table is a build decision. BURIAL — bury up to two cards, gone forever. Travel light. EMBALM — name a family. Five of its cards come out of the drawer; keep one, preserved at rank 1, and the body heals you on the way out. DISSECTION — take it apart: four Veil cards and one Mystery. FULL RELEASE — sever the soul and rip open a booster of possibilities: five cards, keep two, and a Friend or a Legendary may answer… but the Veil remembers every door you open. Some corpses arrive possessed — confront what's inside and win, and a Legendary soul may fight beside you for the rest of the run. Lose, and it...
