A deckbuilding roguelike in your browser, where you queue a full turn of cards, commit them as one sequence, and watch the combo counter climb across nine classes with a sardonic Game Master narrating every run. There's nothing to download or install, so roll for initiative.
The whole game runs in your browser on itch.io. The button below is the entire onboarding.
On the table: 280 cards · 9 classes · 38 relics.
It runs in the browser on itch.io, and free means free, with no account, no ads and no catch.
Infinite Initiative has you queue the entire turn up front (attacks, blocks, buffs, draws) and then commits the sequence in one go, so the order is the puzzle. Get it right and the combo counter climbs, and get it wrong and the Game Master will have something to say about it.
Every card you queue sees the state the previous card leaves behind. Sequencing a draw into a buff into a triple strike is the core skill, and the combo counter keeps score of how well you chained it.
Nine ways to build a run, each with its own card pool and its own idea of what a good turn looks like. Relics bend the rules further: 38 of them, each pulling a run in its own direction.
A narrator with opinions about your run, who is not exactly on your side and not exactly against you either. You'll see.
Infinite Initiative started as a break from Cosmic Scale in Week 17 of the devlog, ate that week and the four after it, and shipped as a finished game. It's small in scope, it's done, it's free, and it still gets updates. The whole story is in the devlog, dead ends included.
It's free, it's in your browser, and a run takes less time than deciding what to watch tonight.
