About this game

Ever wanted to start your own cult? Or wished you could summon eldritch horror-terrors from the abyssal depths from whence we all came? Well here's your chance!

Underhand is a CCG (Cultist Card Game) that puts you into the role of a cult leader. Your job is to manage your cult's resources effectively as you respond to different event cards drawn from the deck. How you respond to these events will determine how far you'll go-- will you succeed in summoning one, or maybe even all of the Ancient Ones? Or will you be just another would-be upstart falling prey to the trials and tribulations of time? Only you can decide!

=========

THRILLING

Whether you're facing a treacherous obstacle or encountering an unexpected boon, every decision you make has tangible consequences manifesting as the current state of your hand. Underhand will have you on the edge of your seat as you walk the tightrope between having too many resources and not enough.

IMMERSIVE

With stunning, almost eerie visuals and sound, the stage is set for the perfect atmospheric experience. Every now and then, the in-game radio will react to your choices and broadcast the game-world's current state of affairs as affected by you, mastermind cult leader supreme-- all so you can keep up with the latest happenings and make more happenings... well, happen.

UNPARALLELED

Do you know any other games that let you run a cult? How about ones that also let you summon unfathomably monstrous deities? Or ones that let you do both of those packaged into one wholesome, sleek, mobile card game experience? Whatever else you want to say about Underhand, it's irrefutably the first of its kind. Play now, so you can proudly proclaim that you were into it well before it amassed a cult following!

Ratings and reviews

Overall great game. Difficulty is at a good level most of the time but there are some particular gods that are really hard to summon with the boons you have. Relics are absurdly unbalanced. It is near impossible to get them at times. For example, the "backup ending", Windigoo, requires a relic to summon. However, it is not possible to get a relic in every game, and therefore sometimes impossible to win a given game. Also there are tons of bugs but few of them are severe or happen accidentally.

Wonderfully crafted game. The artwork is stylish and unique, the gameplay is fun and challenging, I LOVE the background music, and the radio is a perfect touch. Holds up for me since 2017. I only have one note: I'm sure you've heard this a million times, but I'll be the million and first: a patch for when the foretell cards are at the end of a deck cycle. I've long since accepted it as part of the game, but it can be a bit annoying at times. At least an acknowledgement of it would be nice.

Great game, but game-breaking bug. After summoning the second god (Rhybaax) I'm unable to summon the rest. The event chain for summoning Rhybaax keeps popping up in all of my games. I've tried resetting my progress in-game and uninstalling and redownloading the game but I still have the same problem. Other than the bug, this is a spectacular game and I would love to see a DLC or sequel with the same mechanics but in a different setting. Definitely 5 stars if I didn't have the bug.
