We're taking advantage of our participation in Strategems Festival to make it official: On June 3rd the Midgardr demo goes live and if you played the playtest, you'll notice something different straight away.
You won't be playing Chapter 1 this time. You'll be playing the Prologue.
Same systems but a different entry point into the world.
You'll learn who the Duke is, why he was banished, and what brought him to the edge of everything. It sets the stage for everything that comes after.
The Prologue carries a hint about the meta-narrative about who's actually holding the cards.
Whose hands are these, anyway?
📦 What's in the Demo
35 turns — around 40/50 minutes of gameplay
Real replayability: every run can unfold differently
2 different endings, each with 2 quest variants — 4 possible conclusions in total
A narrative hook that opens the door to Chapter 1
⚙️ The Systems
Everything in Midgardr runs through cards. Here's what you'll find:
City building — build and develop your village turn by turn
Resource management — keep resources in balance to avoid collapse
La Curtes — gather political allies, each with their own character and effect
Event cards — choose how to face an event, then live with the consequences. What seems right often isn't
Merchant — a pack-based shop available every 10 turns
Oracle's Goblet — a tool to anticipate event outcomes, if you know how to use it
Letters — the main narrative thread guiding you toward the chapter's ending
State Changes — your village can fall into epidemic, famine or revolt depending on your choices. Keep an eye on it
