Build a deck and burn it all away for power? Burn With Me has a fun idea and the full game is now set to arrive on October 12.
Blending strategic deckbuilding with an emotionally charged supernatural narrative, Burn With Me introduces us to the “deck-burner” genre, where sacrificing your own cards grants immense power – but burn too much, and you’ll be left with nothing. Every decision carries weight as you navigate forbidden rituals, dangerous obsessions, and the cost of making a pact with a demon.
See the new trailer below:
Set within an occult university, the game follows a group of students drawn into ancient rites by their enigmatic and obsessed teacher. As each student confronts their deepest desires, fears, and ambitions, players must decide whether to master their obsessions or be consumed by them. Each of the game’s six chapters introduces its own cast, mechanics, cards, bosses, and emotional themes, ensuring every ritual feels distinct.
At the heart of Burn With Me is its unique deck-burning mechanic. Rather than protecting every card, players are encouraged to sacrifice valuable tools in exchange for devastating effects, constantly balancing immediate power against long-term survival. The mechanic mirrors the game’s central themes, where every gain demands a sacrifice.

I remember playing an earlier demo of Burn With Me and loved the idea. It has some wonderful artwork too – it’s going to be a good one.
