Ring of Pain is a roguelike card game in a world distorted by your mind... - Frail and fragile bear the curse, through the shadow you traverse - Darkness favours cunning few, stare too long and be consumed...
Runs well on modern hardware.

My go to when I need to listen to something and busy my hands. A simple concept, you either go left or you go right. It's my jam, there's just something that hits right. After a while, you get into a groove and you can play it without thinking. It's really perfectly smooth as a mindless occupation, and it was fun to try and unlock everything before then.
Ring Of Pain, more like RNG And Pain, lol. Jokes aside, its a fun game, but I would not recommend to other people as it heavily rely on RNG . I dont like to compare games but it feels more hopeless and luck based compared to other games like Balatro or Slay the Spire. The other aspect i didnt like is the aspect of limited information during gameplay. For example, i wish i can 'tab out' and see the board when making decision for the stats upgrade or getting item. Sometimes i cant properly see the enemy information at the back of the board which is annoying.
highly addicting and by far one of the best crawlers I've played, the artstyle is amazing and the story does a good job on getting you hooked, pretty much lets the player figure out through gameplay and interpretation, nothing is spoon fed to you.
