Press release:
Explore a graphic novel come to life with Stack Order, a narrative-driven roguelite deckbuilder from French indie team Panflip Studio!

In Stack Order, you’ll engage in tense one-on-one card duels, use strategy to stack up synergies, and uncover the source of the corruption spreading over this mysterious, handcrafted world.

Stack Order is coming to PC via Steam in early 2027 and requests are open on PressEngine, but you can already try your hand at stacking your best cards in the new demo, out now on Steam!

About the game:

Stack Order is a narrative roguelite deckbuilder set in a world defined by tense, one-on-one duels against bosses with unique attack patterns, where each battle is a battle of wits. Learn from your enemies and devise a counter-strategy to survive and win.

Victory is not only determined by your cards, but the order in which you play them: cards placed next to (and above) each other will interact, trigger synergies, and modify abilities. Overwhelm your opponents before they can attack with risky offensive combinations, or take your time and opt for a defensive counterattack. Unlock new cards, modifiers, and items, and find the right combination to create devastating turns!

Discover a unique psychedelic world, entirely handcrafted and animated, where a mysterious corruption has taken root. Playing several characters in different chapters, make your way to the source of the corruption and discover the truth before it’s too late.

About the Developers

French artists and designers Axel Nowak and Enzo Seurre met in art school long ago, and reunited in 2025 to create a video game prototype based on the tabletop version of what would then become their debut game, Stack Order.

In 2026, Panflip Studio was officially born (with a name inspired by the crêpe party they had in school). Stack Order is scheduled for launch on Steam in 2027, and with many more genre-blending games to come in the future.
