The Spirit Lift

The Spirit Lift is a cute, spooky card game blending deckbuilding rogue-likes with story-driven indie horror. As teenagers from the '90s, players explore an ever-changing retro 3D hotel with the help of a magic elevator. Navigate 13 floors and open doors to search for cards, gea,r and gold. But beware of monsters and dangerous events! When you reach the penthouse, you'll have to defeat one of the hotel's charismatic bosses, so take calculated risks or you may not survive.

Your starting team determines your strategy, so choose wisely! Each character has a special gear item and a custom set of starting cards. They'll also react differently as the story unfolds. Keep playing to learn their relationships with each other and utilize their different strengths. Familiar deck-building gameplay with a survival horror twist! Use your equipment deck to fight the creatures prowling the hotel. Upgrade cards as you gain experience, balancing your deck by blending four deck focuses any way you prefer. And if you die, try again! Discover the hotel's true purpose by unlocking lore and content through challenges. Be Kind, Rewind, and Seek the Truth Lost Behind… Oh, and you can pet our shopkeeper, Dorian. But he won't like it.
