Areteion has released!

A deep thank you to my wife, without whom this would never have been possible!

This is purely a passion project without any budget. So I’m happy it got this far. There is no marketing for it, so this launch will be small, but that’s okay and I am already grateful for all the people that checked out the recently released demo (which will stay available).

If there is some interest in the game, then I’ll be able to justify spending the time to implement so many things for this game:

  • the missing tutorial
  • bigger boards
  • more Hero’s Journey variety (especially bosses)
  • more map types and map variety
  • better AI opponents
  • better balancing
  • new game modes
  • and of course: so many more cards!

While I hope that I can ship the small stuff fast (please leave your feature requests in the Steam Community forums!), the bigger stuff I can’t promise for now.

To the small handful of people who playtested all the different versions of this over the years, a huge thank you! This game is in the shape it's in because your feedback kept me going.

I hope I can bring enjoyment to a few people today. Good luck beating the highscores!

Favor was the last piece still working the old way. Four separate counters were too many stats to track, and cancelling a curse was too difficult: it took enough Favor with whichever god got rolled, so in practice enough with all four at…Major update28 Aug 20261.0.17: Persistent Power, a Bigger Board, and the Hero's Journey RebuiltAreteion 1.0.17 Reasoning Areteion launched as a game of tight puzzles: every turn a tricky situation to survive, and the rules were constrained on purpose to keep that tension up. Your feedback since launch, in the reviews and on the forum, has been clear about the price of it: too much randomness, too much to keep in mind at once, and setbacks that hit far harder than the mistake deserved.
