Most card battlers resolve one card at a time. Infinite Initiative makes you queue the entire turn up front (attacks, blocks, buffs, draws) then commits the sequence in one go. The order is the puzzle. Get it right and the combo counter climbs; get it wrong and the Game Master will have something to say about it.
Every card you queue sees the state the previous card leaves behind. Sequencing a draw into a buff into a triple strike is the core skill, and the combo counter keeps score of how well you chained it.
Nine ways to build a run, each with its own card pool and its own idea of what a good turn looks like. Relics bend the rules further: 38 of them, each pulling a run in its own direction.
A narrator with opinions about your run. He is not on your side. He is not exactly against you either. You'll see.
Infinite Initiative started as a break from Cosmic Scale in Week 17 of the devlog, ate that week and the four after it, and shipped as a finished game. It's small in scope, not in polish. It's done, it's free, it still gets updates, and it stays free. The whole story is in the devlog, dead ends included.
It's free, it's in your browser, and a run takes less time than deciding what to watch tonight.
