Pyrekin opens its doors

The first playable build of Pyrekin is online. The Warrior has 30 cards, 10 relics, eight events, three bosses and a 15-floor branching map. Cloud save and a seasonal leaderboard are live too.

What's there: the full Slay-the-Spire-style loop. Battle, draft a card, choose your path, rest at a campfire, get gored by an elite, fix things at the merchant. Three boss archetypes — the Stone Sentinel rewards burst, the Reaper punishes long fights with self-healing, the Choir of Archons asks you to spread your damage.

What's missing: replay-validated leaderboards, sound, more classes. We're building those next. The game itself will keep evolving — if something feels off, write to hello@pyrekin.com.

Free in perpetuity: the Warrior class and the full first act. Cosmetic skins are sold in the shop to support the project; they don't change gameplay. Until a real payment provider is plugged in, the shop runs in demo mode — feel free to test the flow without spending anything.

Now: pick the Warrior up, start a run and see how high you climb.
