Nature’s Bidding is a WIP game slated to playtest its first Steam demo at SFGE 2026. It was previously demoed at GGJ 2026 and won Best Use of Theme.
Nature’s Bidding is a 4-player arena fighter with a roguelike round structure. Reverse bid to avoid gaining terrible cursed masks, shop for tarot cards and artifacts with remaining gold, and fight in an FFA-style combat phase to see who will be the first to win 3 rounds!
