Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “Cheat Death” playtest version. A horror rogue-lite tabletop. Gamble with Death. Cheat to win. Use cards and dice to save yourself.
Decades of joystick-wielding and thumb-button tapping have taught me one thing: few games dare to fuse the ritual of tabletop chance with the visceral terror of survival horror – and that’s exactly where Cheat Death stakes its claim. On a cursed hex board you build a hand of occult cards, roll the dice against fate and walk the razor’s edge between cunning strategy and inevitable doom. The result feels like sitting at an ancient gothic table with invisible Death as your opponent: every card you play, every die you cast, is a gamble on life and soul. If you’ve ever felt the thrill of a deck-builder, the tension of a roguelite, and the dread of a horror encounter all in one go – this one pulls them together in a sinister dance.
