Gene Jackpot

\

Your Genes Are Your Cards\

Gene Jackpot is a roguelike deckbuilder where you gamble with your own genetic code.

You are G-00, a gene experiment. To escape a biotech corporation's underground lab, you must weaponize your own DNA. Play a Strength gene and your arm grows massive. Play a Toxin gene and your skin discolors. Play an Electric gene and your nervous system overloads.

Losing Is Fun

Defeat doesn't end your run. Every time you fall, unpredictable contamination mutations reshape your body. Mutations aren't always bad — they can trigger bizarre synergies. Losing on purpose is a valid strategy. But get knocked out three times, and it's truly over.

Story

"The Genesis Project" — a secret project to break the limits of human genetics. Among hundreds of failed experiments, G-00 is the only stable subject. As you awaken and attempt to escape, the lab's secrets, the truth about the experiments, and the existence of "the Original" unfold with every run.
