Overview

Iskabon, the latest release from POi Interactive, drops you into a scenario that feels ripped from a Y2K-era tech nightmare. It's the year 2001, and you've just downloaded the demo build of this very game.

But instead of booting up a normal title, your system crashes, and when the monitor flickers back to life, your operating system and the game's code have fused into one chaotic entity. Your mission: beat the game and save your PC before it melts your motherboard.

This is a small but mighty roguelite deckbuilder with a high-stakes twist. Each round, you blindly draw cards from your deck while trying to avoid the dreaded Iskabon card.

Drawing it deals massive damage to both your health and the cards in your hand, turning every draw into a nerve-wracking gamble.

Highlights

  • Russian Roulette Meets Deckbuilding: The core loop is a tense blend of luck and strategy. You know your deck, but you never know what you'll pull next, and one wrong draw can spell disaster.
  • A Virtual Companion: You're not alone in this digital crisis. Your trusty virtual companion, Banana, is by your side, adding a layer of personality and support as you navigate the corrupted system.
  • Full Controller Support: Whether you prefer keyboard or gamepad, Iskabon has you covered with full controller support, making it easy to play from the couch or on the go.

Who It's For

If you enjoy roguelike deckbuilders that keep you on the edge of your seat, Iskabon is a perfect fit. The blend of blind draws and high-stakes consequences will appeal to fans of games like Slay the Spire or Luck be a Landlord, but with a unique '90s tech-horror aesthetic that sets it apart.

It's also a great pick for anyone who loves a good challenge wrapped in a quirky, nostalgic package.
