Pactbound
A Dark Fantasy Strategy Card Game

Art Direction | UI/UX Design | Game Design

Over the past few months, I’ve been developing Pactbound, a strategic card game set in a dark fantasy world of curses, forbidden pacts, and doomed souls. This passion project merges original illustration, interface design, and deep mechanical systems into a cohesive, immersive experience. I designed the ruleset to be easy to pick up, but hard to master, making it accessible to new players while allowing for creative, competitive depth.

UX & Interface Design
From card layout readability to menu flow and deck-building screens, I built the UX from the ground up with accessibility and theme in mind. Every interaction is built to support fast learning without sacrificing flavor. Think Hearthstone meets Magic: The Gathering with a gothic twist.

Art Direction & Visuals
I created all visual assets, including faction symbols, card frames, icons, and background textures. Each deck has a unique aesthetic tied to its lore. The game combines hand-painted gothic elements with subtle modern UI styling, bold, readable, and dripping with mood.
