- EA Update #4 – New playable character! - 4 January 2023
Hello sinners! Update #4 is finally live! We would like to welcome a new member of the hellish family – Hernan Cortés – as 3rd playable character, representing the Sin of Greed! Who would have thought that killing millions of people and destruction of a whole civilization would not grant you redemption? Definitely not Hernan Cortés! There's no hope for this famous conquistador, and our boy knows it well. That's why he slowly builds his own army of lost souls under his command, so he doesn’t get his hands dirty. Hernan has access to a completely new mechanic: Wraiths. Wraiths are souls so consumed by cravings and hatred, they lost any memory of their previous earthly selves. Their powers can be bent to the will of the witty and reckless, such as Hernan the Conquistador! New mechanics & content Mechanically speaking, Hernan can use cards to Summon the Wraiths onto the battlefield and then…

- EA Update #3 – Rewards & Progression Overhaul - 7 December 2022
Hello Sinners! We have another huge update for you! Fully overhauled progression, endless mode, gamepad support, and much more await your arrival. Let's get into the details! New progression After analysing the feedback we've got from our players on our official Discord we decided to improve the approach to the meta progression of the game. It became clear to us that the following upgrades should come more often to help streamline the experience and give a stronger sense of progression as the player goes through each and every run. From now, in the city of Nadir, you can find a new construction tree UI with much more building upgrades. They're cheaper than before and each provides a more manageable number of newly available cards and Damned. We're sure this way you'll be able to collect and learn the new content in a more convenient way and feel the progress better. Because of this chan…

- Release on November 8th! - 29 October 2022
Greetings, Sinners! We're hellishly delighted to announce: Nadir: A Grimdark Deckbuilder is being released on Steam & GoG on November 8th! In Nadir, you descend to Hell in a form of an avatar of a Deadly Sin and fight Demons in roguelike card battles, collect loot to build your base, and expand your Underworld Kingdom. On the way down, you can create unique decks, unlock new Sins to play with, craft powerful cards, and muster tormented souls of the Condemned, who will assist you on your quest. How's the game? Nadir strikes with a never-seen-before action-reaction system, where you are controlling the enemy in each battle. We are very proud to show you our project, as we believe we created something refreshing for a card game even though the original idea is influenced by classics of the roguelike battlers genre: Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon. We plan a Halloween in Nadir Some of th…
- Halloween in Nadir! - 24 October 2022
Greetings, everyone! Autumn leaves cover the roads leading to hell. Nights are darker and lengthy, allowing the Filth to crawl out and disturb the land of the living. All those abominations you can meet on your way down are coming from the depths. But in the depths, there are still a few heroes who fight to ward off the ghosts of the forgotten. In Nadir's Demo, we are joining the celebration of Halloween with an introduction to a special in-game event. Our game is already fitting the topic of this holiday pretty well, but we have gone the extra mile to wink at you with some specials. Those who are seeing our game for the first time - Welcome! Nadir is an upcoming grimdark roguelike deck-builder with a twist: the cost to play a card is an enemy reaction you can predict. It’s a riddle that’s both an intense exchange of punches and a careful tactical match. Rise in power, slay demons and e…
- Update! Work in Progress insight and hotfixes - 4 October 2022
Hello, everyone! A new update for Nadir’s Demo just went live. We polished some of the systems in the game and introduced a few bug fixes to found and reported issues. Thank you for playing the new build and sharing your feedback and reports via our official Discord! We are happy to continue our work on the game, and we have prepared a neat work-in-progress insight to show you some more improvements we prepared thanks to your feedback, and tell you more about how we are planning to shape our game core. Today, you are getting the first insight into the Charges mechanic. We’re glad that you like the idea of controlling your opponent in our game, and we received very positive feedback about it. Yet there are still some aspects of this system that could be improved to introduce more tactical layers to it and make your gameplay even more interesting and rewarding. We are also addressing your…
- Double Cards Crafting Update is Live! - 15 September 2022
The biggest update of Nadir’s Demo is already here! We’ve spent a lot of time and effort to bring you, what we believe to be the best version of our game! A lot has changed so let’s take a look at all of the new and updated features: Double Cards The highlight of this update, double cards bring a lot of new features with them. But let’s take a closer look at the cards themselves. From now on each card is divided into two parts: blue and red, each with its own unique effects. When you play the card on the blue enemy card, the blue part of the card will activate. Play the same card on the red Enemy Card, and the red effect will activate instead. Why did we do it? Cards in 2 separate colors may seem ok, but they generated a lot of problems the longer you were playing. The task of keeping your deck in balance was put on you, players, which was less than ideal. Also, other mechanics like Dec…
