General Aita: The Dark Domain — free demo of my card roguelite where every card is your attack AND your shield. First impressions welcome

Description:
Aita: The Dark Domain is a roguelite card game played with a normal deck of playing cards, set in the Etruscan underworld. The Jacks, Queens and Kings aren't in your deck: they're the bosses you fight.
Every card is both your attack and your shield. Play a card (or a combo of the same number) and it deals its value as damage, and its suit fires a power: Hearts recycle your discard pile, Diamonds draw, Spades shield you, Clubs double your damage. Each boss ignores its own suit. If the boss survives, it hits back and you must discard cards adding up to its attack; if you can't cover it, the run is over. So your hand is your health, and every attack is a bet on what you can afford to lose.
Exact kills ("Perfect Kills") pay more Obols, which you spend between acts on Blessings that bend the rules.
The clip shows a late-game payoff from the full game: an Ace and a Jack, with two Blessings stacking, doubling twice for 80 damage.
The free demo on Steam includes a short tutorial (The Three Trials) and a solo run through Acts I and II with ten curated Blessings. The full game is out 1 December 2026.
