Rejected Draft cover art

YOU DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT Your creator took one look at you and threw you in the wastebasket. So you climb back out. Now there is an entire Gallery between you and the artist who decided you were not worth keeping. Rough sketches, finished pieces, historical portraits, and masterpieces far stronger than the little doodle that just crawled out of the trash. If you want revenge, you are going to have to earn it. Rejected Draft is a long-form incremental autobattler about starting with almost nothing and slowly turning yourself into something ridiculous. It begins simply, then keeps adding new mechanics, choices, interactions, and layers for months. SIMPLE TO START. HARD TO MASTER. Rejected Draft is designed to be easy to pick up. You fight sketches, get stronger, choose upgrades, and push farther. That is enough to get started. Then more begins to appear. New stats interact with old ones. New currencies change what matters. New upgrades reshape previous systems. Prestige layers alter the value of things you thought you already understood. Old mechanics eventually become pieces of much larger ones. The complexity grows gradually, so you are never expected to understand...

New upgrades reshape previous systems. Prestige layers alter the value of things you thought you already understood. Old mechanics eventually become pieces of much larger ones. The complexity grows gradually, so you are never expected to understand everything at once. You learn systems as they arrive, use them for a while, then eventually discover that they connect to something much bigger. YOU WILL NOT FINISH THIS GAME IN A WEEK Rejected...
