Deckline

About

Deckline turns a simple card game into a tense survival struggle. You and your squad are stranded with no supplies, surrounded by enemies, and your only option is to play a desperate round of Durak. Each decision shifts the balance between strategy and surrender as you manage limited cards, anticipate opponents moves, and cling to fragile hope. The rules are straightforward but the pressure isn’t, every round feels like a step closer to the end. The game leans into its bleak premise with quiet storytelling and uneasy silence. There’s no grand escape here, just the weight of waiting for something to give. Early playtests show players spend an average of 45 minutes per session, suggesting the short but intense matches stick with you. It’s a stark, strategic experience that uses a familiar game to frame a story of quiet resignation.

Storyline

Your command has abandoned you. With all resources depleted and no hope of rescue, you and your squad gather for one last game of Durak. With death closing in, you shuffle the deck, clinging to the memories of laughter and camaraderie. Now, it’s all that remains.
