Description
About This Game
Speak the Doom
You are the one prophet every blade must answer. In DOOMSAYER you DECLARE your next act aloud — a step, a strike, a stand — and every enemy commits its reply to that word before you move. The gap between the telling and the truth is the whole game. Read their committed answers, then break your own word and leave them cutting empty air.
Bend the future
Spend Fate to rewrite the moment: PUSH and BECKON foes into fire, SWAP places, SMITE from the sky, or IGNITE the ground beneath them. Palm a FEINT to lie about your move — plant a forged token, whisper a false square to a single hunter, or speak two tells at once. Deception is a weapon with its own economy.
Swear your Doom
Every fight, wager oaths on the future you intend to make real: "No wound shall touch me." "Two shall fall in a single turn." "The mightiest falls last." Keep the oath and it pays in Fate; break it and it draws your own blood. The bolder the prophecy, the richer the reward — and the deeper the stake.
Walk the road
Choose your Speaker — five prophets, each a different voice and loadout — and set out down a branching road of fights, shrines, wayside oracles and relic reliquaries. Draft rule-bending relics, learn new tricks and words, and shape a run that no two roads repeat.
The Deeper Dooms
Clear the road and the Doom only speaks louder. Descend an eighteen-rung ladder of Deeper Dooms — each turning the screws on monsters, stakes and the closing clock — toward the Marks of Mastery. A daily Omen gives the whole world one seed, one Speaker, one decree and one shot at the leaderboard.
