After a successful demo at Steam Next Fest, Occlude is now available on Steam and Itch.io.

Developed by Tributary Games (King of the Castle) Occlude leans heavily into the occult and mysticism, presenting a narrative card game that intentionally obscures its rule-set. The game presents seven Rituals, each governed by its own Entity, and each asking for a different form of logic.

“We wanted the rules of the game itself to be part of the discovery,” explains Tributary Games’ Studio Lead Samuel Partridge, “Occlude takes what you think you know about Solitaire, and then blows things wide open from there. The puzzles and the narrative go hand-in-hand, so as you learn one you also learn the other. We’re incredibly proud of where this journey leads - the last Ritual in particular - and can’t wait to see how players grapple with it.”

Embracing feedback from Steam Next Fest, Tributary Games have also added a Story Mode for launch, allowing those who might be more into the Lynchian narrative than the brain-contorting puzzles to jump into a more instantly accessible version of the game.



Occlude is a game stuffed with secrets, and a cerebral, mind-bending narrative that is a puzzle in itself. Players are challenged to piece together the story for themselves from archival documents and scattered hints.This extends to a free ARG that has been running alongside the development of the game. Seven Cards, Seven Rituals is an investigative ARG allowing players to learn more about the world of the game via an evolving, lore-heavy alternate reality experience.
