Grid Lost is a Daemon-collecting deck-building roguelike. In a fictional nation named the United Vaniber, play as a special agent operating directly under the government to patrol and eliminate any foreign occurrence aiming to steal secrets of the Grid Network. Collect and manage your deck and inventory to dominate the pace of the battle and overpower your foes.

D-Ware

D-Ware (Daemon software) is like a card in other deck-building games. D-Ware is separated into 3 categories: 

1. Break - Fast and has low RAM cost, but low shield damage.
2. Breach - Slowest and has high RAM cost, but high shield damage.
3. Security - Fastest and reduces RAM. Supportive cards.

Shield

Shield grants a layer of protection and prevents Daemons from interruption. If you break your enemy's shield, you can interrupt its action!

RAM

RAM is an energy resource. Unlike other card games, RAM not only limits how much D-Ware you can play but also applies various buffs/debuffs, depending on how much that has been used. 

Initiative

While conventional card game combat has a dedicated turn for the player and the enemy, Grid Lost uses an initiative system to determine who will act first at each turn. If both have the same initiative, it will cause a clash. 
Acting first gives you the opportunity to interrupt your foe before it can act. Only those who master this system can dictate the flow of combat. However, careless play may put you in a difficult position. Stay alert! Your enemies can do the same thing to you, they do not show mercy.

Relic

Players can obtain relics, a powerful tool that enhances or alters your build. Relics drop from various in-game activities.

Inventory

Items can provide supportive effects and aid you in the battle. Items can be used in or out of combat. You can even combine items to create new ones!

Daemon

There will be 20+ Daemons in the game (this would be the goal. This demo only includes 4 of them). Each Daemon has its unique D-Ware and relics, try out different party setups and synergies that suit your playstyle.

You can collect Daemons through negotiations and Daemon fusion (planned, not in Demo).

Map Events

During each run, the player needs to follow a randomly generated map and complete each event. Every floor has a boss in the end. There are 5 types of activities: Encounter (combat), negotiation (gain new Daemons, items, or relics), signal (unique event with rewards. The demo only contains 1 event), black market (locked in the demo), and cathedral (a place to repair or fuse your Daemons, locked in the demo).
