Ordiri

A battle card game about spiritual warfare, where your deck is your life and every hit costs you more than a number.

Process:

Ordiri started with a single question: what does it actually feel like to put your lifeforce on the line? Not as an abstraction but as something you can lose, card by card, decision by decision.

In Ordiri, your 50-card deck is your life total. When you take damage, you remove cards from your deck. Every hit narrows your options. Every wound is irreversible. The damage isn't a number going down, it's potential, erased.

That one mechanic set the tone for everything else. Consequence became the foundation. And consequence makes every move feel real.
