Seven Blasphemies

Overview

Seven Blasphemies is a traditional turn-based roguelike about surviving the final days of a cursed world. Players move one tile at a time under the pressure of a doom calendar: each dawn may strike the world with a new Blasphemy, a permanent curse that stacks with everything before it. When the seventh Blasphemy arrives, the world ends.

Key points for coverage

• A doom calendar that permanently escalates every run: curses stack, systems decay, and the world grows meaner each day.
• Classic roguelike fundamentals: grid movement, turn-based decisions, procedural danger, and permadeath.
• 6 playable classes, each doomed differently, built around distinct playstyles.
• Readable, mechanically distinct monsters that force decisions about engaging, fleeing, or spending scarce resources.
• OSR-inspired design focused on scarcity, risk, and consequence rather than power fantasy.

Editorial angles

• Strong single-sentence hook: “you are not racing toward glory, you are racing against extinction.”
• The Blasphemy system as a fresh take on run-altering modifiers: permanent, stacking, and world-wide.
• Minimalist pixel art with a stark, limited palette that keeps lethal encounters readable.
• Good fit for coverage of traditional roguelikes, OSR-inspired design, and high-tension survival runs.
