Cold Seagull

Cold Seagull — A Procedural Narrative Roguelike Deckbuilder

Where every squawk tells a story.

In the fractured social hierarchies of a seagull colony, battles aren't won with strength alone—they're won with words, presence, and the ability to understand what others fear most.

Cold Seagull is a deck-building narrative RPG where your cards are the psychological weapons of outcasts, misfits, and misunderstood birds. Each screech (Caw) is a journey: from the lonely cry of isolation, through echoing melancholy, to the transcendent wail of understanding something the world fears.

Core Systems:

• Dual-Damage Model — Hack away at enemies' health or shatter their social standing. Both matter.
• Emotional Depth — Cards aren't just mechanics; they're snapshots of emotional states. Playing them shapes the narrative.
• Reactive AI — Enemies respond to your presence, your temperament, your choices. The battle watches you as much as you watch it.
• Evolution Through Play — Your cards grow and change as you understand them better, unlocking new stories and abilities.

Featuring:

• Hand-crafted Caw and Will cards with branching narratives
• A world where rocks matter, loneliness has power, and being "unworthy of being a seagull" might be your greatest strength
• Conditions that persist across turns, observers that track your cruelty, and effects that ripple through the entire colony

Currently in development. Early builds showcase core battle system, card mechanics, and narrative integration.
