About

Unkind

Features
Read full description

Unkind is a competitive multiplayer board game that blends classic token-racing strategy with chaotic action-card combat. Roll the die, move your pieces around the board, build fuel, and play powerful cards that can protect your position or wreck someone else’s plan. What starts as a familiar race quickly becomes a battle of timing, disruption, and nerve. Use movement boosts, shields, swaps, traps, freezes, turn reversals, and high-impact chaos cards to control the board. Push your pieces toward home, punish exposed opponents, and turn losing positions into dramatic comebacks. Unkind is easy to understand, but much harder to master. Features: Familiar race-to-home board gameplay with a deeper strategic twist Action cards that add sabotage, counterplay, and momentum swings Fuel-based card system that rewards smart decisions Solo Practice for learning tactics Online multiplayer in Global Arena Private Match for playing with friends Standard Mode for classic competitive play Unkind Mode for permanent captures and higher-stakes matches If you enjoy classic race board games, tactical multiplayer, and unpredictable reversals, Unkind delivers a faster, sharper, and more ruthless take on the genre. Roll well. Time your cards. Ruin their run. Be unkind.

The Loom writes impossible patterns. You break them. Threadbreaker is a precision bullet-hell action roguelite built around a promise procedural games usually break: fresh challenges that stay readable, fair, and worth mastering. Every 42-room Revision chooses three shifting sectors from five before entering the Prime Line, drawing eight arena looks from a world of twelve. A deterministic Choreography Engine recombines curated attack phrases, enemy roles, arena shells, and guardian phases while preserving gold telegraphs, recovery beats, and real escape lanes. Every run changes. The rules do not. Read the warning. Find the opening. Step through danger. Graze enemy fire to charge Thread. Then Sever stitched bullets and cut your own path through the pattern. Choose one of twelve cosmic Breakers, each built around the same honest collision core. Combine four Frames and six Weapon Cores with thirty upgrade Knots. Discover named synergies. Push a build far enough to transform its Core into a run-defining capstone. Eight enemy archetypes move and attack differently. Six guardians change body, movement, and pattern language across three readable phases. An original reactive score rises with telegraphs, low Integrity, Sever readiness, and guardian transformations. And when the run ends, it becomes something you can study. Run History preserves the build, room scores, damage sources, grazes, biggest Sever, and cause of defeat. Loom Theater recreates the performance in Cinema mode or overlays honest, moment-by-moment Coaching—without changing the recorded result. ALSO INCLUDED • Daily Score with a shared deterministic seed • Guardian Archive rehearsals and Endless Margin • Earn-only Remnants for permanent gameplay breadth, cosmetics, and prestige • Optional one-time Ad-Free and Full Loom purchases; no subscription • Touch and extended-controller support • Story, Standard, Sharp, and Impossible difficulty • Wider lanes, extra Integrity, automatic Sever, reduced effects, high contrast, left-handed controls, and more • Offline-capable core play with graceful network-service fallbacks • A voiced live How to Play demonstration that teaches by showing Fresh should not mean arbitrary. Hard should not mean cheap. Learn the pattern. Find the thread. Break it.
