What it is about

Card Drives is a solitaire cyberpunk TTRPG where you play an endless series of hackers wielding a cyberdeck: a powerful computer console full of card drives. This cyberdeck is represented by a deck of playing cards you will mod and trash and draw on as you play the game. Each modded card becomes more powerful, giving you more access to powerful programs (poker hands) you use to exploit nodes and explore the net. It's a souls-like cyberpunk Balatro. It's a love letter to rogue-like deck builders. It's heavily inspired by Two-Hand Path and everyone who has ever sharpied a Magic the Gathering card. In this demo version of the game, you navigate the NUWESTPAC Seaboard network to try to take down Wotan over a series of runs. Jack out before it's too late, or you risk flatlining and leaving all your keys and data behind. But don't worry, with each game and new run, you use the same cyberdeck, which gets more and more powerful as the game continues. Recover your data. Mod your deck. Exploit the 'net.
