A fresh contender is stepping into the rogue-lite deck-building arena — and it comes wrapped in folklore, strategy, and a dash of Korean tradition. Global publisher CFK has announced that DeckLand, the new rogue-lite deck-building adventure from Korean indie studio JellySnow, is officially on the way.
Alongside the publishing deal, the game’s Steam store page is live, a free demo is available, and fans can now follow the project on its newly opened official X (Twitter) account.
DeckLand is already generating buzz thanks to award-winning showings at major indie showcases — and now it’s gearing up to reach players worldwide.
A Deck-Building Rogue-Lite Inspired by Tradition
DeckLand blends modern strategy gameplay with the spirit of the traditional Korean board game Yutnori, layering tactical depth onto every move. The result is a distinctive experience where cards, dice-like movement, and risk-reward decisions constantly shape the adventure.
Backed by legends, fairy-tale influences, and moral choices that alter your path, DeckLand places players in the role of a wandering monk exploring a kingdom on the brink of collapse.
Your mission: uncover the truth behind a mysterious catastrophe — and survive the journey through monsters, fate, and unraveling destiny.
Proven Indie Pedigree
Before CFK stepped in as global publisher, DeckLand had already built momentum:
- Winner of the Indie Arcade Award at PlayX4
- Top 12 at the Gyeonggi Game Audition
- Top 50 at Indie Craft
- Tumblbug crowdfunding campaigns reaching 159% and 823% of goal
That track record, paired with the studio’s creativity, has set expectations high for launch.
Gameplay Highlights: Strategy Meets Fate
Your Adventure, Written in the Stars
Navigate toward constellations that hint at danger, discovery, or brief moments of rest — each destination shaping the course of the journey.
Deck-Building Meets Board-Game Movement
Move across maps like a tabletop board, gathering cards, confronting enemies, and adjusting your tactics with every step.
Fail, Learn, Grow Stronger
With systems like talismans for long-term buffs and card synthesis to enhance your deck, defeat becomes part of progression — not the end.
Storytelling with Heart (and Han)
Through mysterious events and branching moments, DeckLand channels the emotional tone of han — sorrow, longing, and resilience — creating a narrative that lingers.
Art Inspired by Korean Culture
Stylized visuals and cinematic cutscenes weave traditional aesthetics into a modern fantasy world, making DeckLand as striking to watch as it is to play.

CFK plans to bring DeckLand to players worldwide across multiple platforms:
- PC (Steam) — free demo available now
