Occlude Build 23232198

Occlude is an occult twist on solitaire that hides its rules until you discover them for yourself. You’re invited to re-write history, unmake regrets or reshape events simply by playing a deceptively simple card game. As you progress, coins appear to confirm that you’re on the right track-but the deeper mysteries and the actual rules remain obscured until you take the time to experiment.

The core of Occlude revolves around seven Rituals, each one a distinct puzzle with its own secret rule set. Along the way you’ll cross paths with seven enigmatic Entities who are all too aware of your efforts-though worrying about them won’t help you solve any puzzles. Piece together a mind-bending cosmic horror narrative that suggests this "game" may have never been a game at all, and delve into forbidden lore as you master each Ritual and unlock more of the Archives.
