SigilScribe asks a single question — can you draw the rune on the card you just played? HOW IT WORKS: • A hand of 5 arcane cards sits across the bottom of a candlelit study • Tap a card to play it — the rune template appears on a piece of parchment above • Drag your finger along the parchment to trace the sigil • Trace quality scales the card's power — a clean trace is a Clean cast, a precise trace is a Perfect cast, a sloppy trace is a Fumble • The opponent librarian plays their own cards from a deck you can see (top-down 5 cards) • Your HP starts at 20, opponent HP scales from 8 to 40 across 60 stages • Win the duel to unlock the next stage; lose and you retry from the same stage FIVE CARD SUITS, EACH WITH A DISTINCT ROLE: • Pyre (red) — Pure damage cards • Tide (blue) — Restore your HP or draw extra cards • Crystal (violet) — Sigil status effects — these stay on the field across turns • Ember (gold) — Buff cards that power up your next cast • Wax (seal red) — Guard cards that block incoming damage 60 HAND-TUNNED DUELS ACROSS 3 ARCHIVE WORLDS: • Ember Halls — Gentle introductions, single suits (duels 1–20) • Tide Sanctum — Draw-heavy hand of 3 (duels 21–40) • Crystal Vault — Twin Sigil mechanic, stack two runes at once (duels 41–60) TRACE QUALITY MATTERS: • Each rune has 7 distinct shapes — LINE, ARC, ZIGZAG, TRIANGLE, STAR, CIRCLE, CROSS • Cast quality determines 60%+ of the damage output • Pure deck choice without trace skill cannot carry the duel • Conversely, perfect trace skill without strong cards cannot carry the duel — cards have a damage ceiling FEATURES: • Core gameplay fully offline — internet only for optional ads • Hand-drawn parchment + wax-seal + arcane-violet visual style — 30 card art PNGs, 20 rune templates • 60 hand-tuned duels across 3 archive worlds • 20 achievements across 5 categories including Polyrhythm Sage equivalent — Triple Sigil (stacked Crystal buffs) • Star economy — earn up to 3 stars per duel, spend at the Decksmith's archive • Rewarded video ads (optional, user-initiated) • Original library ambient soundtrack (AI-composed, 90-second seamless loops) Built with Flutter.
