About This Game

Ever wondered what the love child of a Roguelike Deckbuilder and a Tabletop Boardgame would look like? Here’s the answer: Into The Grid features action-packed card battles and deeply tactical map exploration with resource management.

We designed a unique dual-resource system where each card is played for its effect while simultaneously generating Virtual Memory (VIM), which allows the player to take advantage of even the most suboptimal hands. Use your VIM to activate your Commands during battle and obliterate your enemies’ defenses!

Exploit the Commands - powerful unlockable skills that can be the difference between victory and defeat. Choose them wisely, sync them with your deck, and strategically deploy them for knockout wins.

The Grid is the infinite digital landscape where information lives. Full of riches and dangers, it’s a place where only the sharpest minds can thrive. Experience a layer of depth never seen before in the genre; consider every move as if it were your last because it might be. Fight or flee? Visit this area now or later? Cash in a reward immediately, or hold on to it for an even bigger payoff? The choice is yours, as well as the punishment and the profit.

The Repo is your arsenal, and its program cards, your weapons. Get new Programs as you explore, and scrap your least effective ones to upgrade your best ones. Look out for unique combinations and unlock the ultimate power.

As a hacker, your Console is an extension of your mind and body. Customize it to match your playstyle by unlocking hardware mods and perks. The more you hone your skills, the more options you’ll discover!

Into The Grid includes four distinct characters (2 available at Early Access launch!), each with its own gameplay mechanics, art, and story arcs (single player campaigns available at full launch).

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Into The Grid's universe is a grimdark cyberpunk dystopia and as such, all stories told within it may touch subjects such as crime, violence, societal injustices, etc. We do our best to not glorify or romanticize these topics. We also design our experiences to be immersive and realistic hence we avoid unnecessary explicit content unless it's absolutely required to convey the message.
