About the game

What you do in a play session

Unbroken is a solo card game that puts you in the shoes of a survivor from a failed expedition. You start weak, wounded, and with limited resources, and must use your wits to scavenge scrap, forge improvised weapons, and confront increasingly dangerous monsters while trying to escape a dark place. The game is quick to set up – just lay the cards on the table – but the tension builds as you roll dice to see what happens next. Each card represents a resource or skill, and you must carefully decide where to invest: do you want to stay strong enough to fight, or use tricks to outsmart enemies? The “push your luck” mechanic makes every choice a gamble, and you might find yourself on the front line of an epic battle or hiding in the shadows of an abyss. Unbroken blends adventure, fantasy, and horror, creating a survival atmosphere reminiscent of classic tabletop RPGs. If you enjoy solo games that demand strategic thinking, resource planning, and a touch of luck, this title will make your heart pound as you try to escape the monsters. It’s ideal for those seeking a short (20‑30 minute) but intense experience, and perfect for fans of dungeon‑survival narratives without needing a big group. Just remember: the difficulty can ramp up quickly, so be ready to adjust your strategy with each playthrough.
