Ultima Cenere

You are the last flame in a world of ash. Italy is over. What remains are gutted basilicas, highways swallowed by olive trees, concrete suburbs eaten by dust. You walk toward the last enclave — and to reach it, you'll have to give up pieces of yourself, one painful choice at a time. Ultima Cenere is a turn-based roguelike deckbuilder where every run transforms your character. It isn't a game about getting stronger. It's a game about what you're willing to lose to survive.Every run transforms you - Mutations — the ash rewrites your body and reshapes your deck: it adds, removes, upgrades, weakens. It's inflicted, not chosen. You don't fully control who you're becoming. - Anatomical trades — the opposite: this one you choose. Give up human parts, receive implants from the ash-smiths. Every graft has a clear bonus and a clear cost. You always decide — and always give something up. Four ways to refuse to give in - The Jackal — lone scavenger. Fast, fragile, bleed and scaling combos. - The War Medic — frontline surgeon. Pain, heals, slow detonations. Rewards planning. - The Defiled — soldier of tin. Slow tank, embers and plating, nearly unbreakable. - The Mutant — exposed to the ash. A deck that mutates as you go, high risk. For those who know what they're doing. A world with weight Turn-based combat with drag-and-arrow targeting, cumulative bleed, blocks, dodges, and enemies with unique signature abilities. A map that regenerates every run — fights, elites, events, ambushes, merchants — and the tunnels of the Dead Line between acts. Nothing is free. Every choice leaves a mark.The ethics of the game - No loot boxes. - No pay-to-win. - No mechanics that punish you for not paying. Just a game that asks you one thing: how much of yourself are you willing to leave in the ash?Made by one person Ultima Cenere is built by a single Italian designer, at night, with AI as a working companion. Every mechanical and narrative choice remains his. It's a small game, made with care, trying to say something about loss. Wishlist it to know when the ash catches fire.
