[EARLY ACCESS NOTICE] The Abyss is still taking shape. Shattered Dogma is currently in Early Access, and your feedback is the dark energy that fuels its evolution. I am actively refining the balance, mechanics, and eldritch horrors based on player input as we prepare for the End of Days.

The Hunger Of The Abyss Is Eternal.

In the silent spaces beneath the earth, an ancient power stirs. You are not a hero. You are not a survivor. You are the Great Hunger—an emerging Eldritch God reaching through the veil into a world of fragile, drifting mortals. They are desperate for a master; they are waiting for your dogma.

In Shattered Dogma, you will perform Dark Miracles to gather your flock, but this is no ordinary clicker. Here, your followers are more than just numbers—they are fuel.

Predatory Progression

Unlike traditional idle games where numbers simply go up, Shattered Dogma introduces a tense, parasite-driven economy. Your cult is a living hierarchy:

  • Harvest the Indolent: Use ripples in the void to draw the lost to your cause.
  • The Chain of Consumption: Automate your influence through "Vessels." But beware—to create a higher caste of worshipper, your Vessels must consume the lower ones.
  • Balance the Abyss: If you grow too greedy, your high-tier vessels will devour your entire foundation, leaving your cult a hollow shell. You must master the art of Imprisonment—halting your Vessels to stabilize your power or letting the hunger run wild to reach the final tier.

The Liturgy of Ascension

  • Master the Dark Miracles: Direct your influence with Focus Gems (Lapis, Quartz, Emerald, Ruby) to bend specific castes to your will and temporarily reduce the cost of their souls.
  • The Frenzied Assistant: Recruit Mattelock Verbinsk, a mortal vessel capable of triggering miracles at a maddening pace, especially when the "Frenzied Heart" takes hold.
  • Herald the End of Days: When your Zealous followers reach critical mass, trigger the Apocalypse. Consume the reality you’ve built to return to the Abyss, gaining Permanent Relics and Abyssal Fates that grant you the power to reshape the next world more efficiently.

Why Shattered Dogma?

Most idle games are about accumulation; Shattered Dogma is about sacrifice. It is a game for the tactician who enjoys balancing a delicate, predatory ecosystem. Will you build a sustainable church of shadow, or will you burn through a world’s worth of souls just to see the stars go dark?

The ritual has begun. Will you ascend?
