You thought you knew the rules. You don't. Have you ever done something you regret? What if I told you there was a way to fix it? Make it so that something never happened at all; or perhaps, just happened differently. What if I told you it was as simple as a game of solitaire?  What if I told you that the game’s name was Occlude? The game’s not simple. The rules are hidden, and you find them by playing and experimenting. Make sure you have some coins - the coins will show when you’re on the right path. There are seven Rituals, each their own puzzle, increasing in difficulty.  There are seven Entities, and they know you’re playing. Don’t worry about them. Worrying doesn’t do anything. I shouldn’t have mentioned them at all. Occlude is an occult game of solitaire stuffed with secrets. Piece together the rules even as they resist your attempts to decipher them. Uncover the brain-melting story behind the game that was never a game as you chip away at reality one card at a time. Develop your mastery of each Ritual to gain access to even deeper, forbidden lore in the Archives. Solitaire : but not as you know it. Seven Rituals : progress through increasingly complex card puzzles with unique hidden rulesets. Twenty-four Cardinals: unlock Cardinals, variations of Rituals that stand as unique puzzles in their own right. Two modes:  The fiendishly difficult Classic Mode and our new, pleasantly vexing Story Mode with less punishing RNG, a second free cell and unlimited Undo. Reality-bending narrative: uncover a cosmic horror story about a world broken by countless attempts to fix it. Atmospheric sound design : immersive audio cues that shift based on your closeness to solving each puzzle. Secret documents: discover fragments of forbidden texts that provide clues about Occlude's origins. Terrible secrets: for those foolish enough to look for them. 

Press reviews: “Occlude turns a common card game into a captivating supernatural thriller.” Inverse “Providing the most unique retooling of Solitaire, Occlude is a fascinating brain burner.” Big Boss Battle
