Forge Your Fate in Pitu – A Rogue-like Autobattler in a Dying World

LOS ANGELES - July 21, 2025 - PRLog -- Embark on a Journey of Fate and Strategy in Pitu, a Rogue-like Autobattler Set in a Fallen World – Now on Kickstarter

15-07-2025 – Indie game studio Elkhorn Strand is proud to announce the launch of its Kickstarter campaign for Pitu, a rogue-like autobattler set in a mysterious and ancient land. Inspired by Slay the Spire, Hades, and The Binding of Isaac, Pitu combines tactical auto-combat with procedurally generated exploration, permanent death, and a rich, lore-driven world.

Set in the ruins of a forgotten continent, Pitu invites players to venture beyond the safety of the first settlement, where factions from across the sea arrive seeking fame, fortune, and forbidden knowledge. Players must recruit adventurers, scavenge powerful equipment, and make tough, irreversible decisions as they guide their party through ever-changing dangers. But beware: death is permanent, and every choice can make or break your journey.

"We've built Pitu to be both a love letter to rogue-likes and a fresh take on the genre," says Nicholas Liao, Creative Director of the project. "We want every run to tell a new story – one where the map, the choices, and the party are never the same twice."

Key Features:

• Auto-battler with Tactical Depth – Place your party members strategically before each fight. Combat is automatic, but placement is everything.
  
  
• Card-Based Progression Without a Deck – Draft cards to grow your power, but inventory space is limited. Your hand is your inventory.
  
  
• Procedurally Generated Maps – Each run spans three acts, with branching paths and alternate biomes inspired by player choices.
  
  
• Permanent Death – No second chances. When your party falls, it's time to begin again… a little wiser.
  
  
• Narrative-Driven World – Uncover the secrets behind fallen civilizations like the sky-watching Cyrenae, and explore possible expansions into desert ruins inspired by Petra and Southern Utah.
  
  
• Factions & Havenkeepers – Mix and match characters from various factions, resupply at safe havens, and prepare for the final climb to the mountaintop.
  
  

Support Indie Development:
The developers have self-funded Pitu so far but are turning to Kickstarter to take the game to the finish line without publisher oversight. Funds raised will go toward completing the base game, expanding late-game scenarios, producing community-voted cosmetics, and hiring guest composers.

Join the expedition. Uncover the secrets. And help shape the future of Pitu.
