Your Finals Have Begun. Will You Ascend or Fall? At Twisted University, the ancient tic-tac-toe grid is a battleground of curses and counter-spells. Score three-in-a-row to manifest magical stairs and ascend to your professors, defeating them in tactical deck-building duels. Navigate the randomized ascent through the Twisted Tower and graduate, or flunk back into academic oblivion. Features Arcane Deck-building : Collect and upgrade spells, components, and relics. Tactical Grid Play : Plan multiple moves ahead to out-position your opponents. Randomized Ascent : Every run through the Twisted Tower reshuffles floors and faculty. Immersive Experience : Hand-drawn 2D animations paired with an original score. Solo Gameplay Rise to the challenge : Match spells to conjure magical stairs. Every successful match propels you higher; every mistake allows the Professor to dismantle your progress. It's a tug-of-war for solid ground. Master Your Spellbook: You don't just play pieces; you cast spells. Draw from your evolving deck of spells, components, and relics to buff your scores, multiply your scoring potential, sabotage the Professor, or manipulate the grid itself. The Twisted Tower : Your final exams span a randomized ascent through the Twisted Tower. Each level presents a new examination room with procedurally generated professors, custom game rules, and grid variants. Will you choose a safe path and forego extra credit, or risk a brutal examination for a rare spell reward? Collect Relics and Components : Scavenge the university for Relics — powerful talismans that provide passive boons — and rare volatile Spell Components to spice up your deck. Choose wisely; the wrong synergy could result in a failing grade and a long drop back to the bottom of the Tower. The Final Thesis : Confront the mystery at the top of the tower and graduate — or become a footnote in the Archives. Forbidden Geometries Not all examinations use the familiar 3×3 grid. Professors at the Twisted University specialize in archaic variants that demand new stair-building strategies: Merellus : The ancient game of nine-men-morris, played on intersecting lines rather than squares. Inversion Hexes : Boards where victory conditions are mutated. Grid Recursion : Nine tactical games of tic-tac-toe embedded in a larger strategic game. Peer Review (multiplayer) Academic Duels : Challenge fellow students to turn-based online matches. Study Hall : Local pass-and-play or Steam Remote Play Together sessions. Perfect for study groups and friendly rivalries.
