Karma Keepers

Grow a realm that learns to protect itself.

Pitch

Karma Keepers is a chill idle/incremental strategy game about restoring wandering souls, building a Faith economy, and turning a fragile realm into one that can run itself. Automate the routine, respond when Corruption pushes back, and use Divine Rebirth to make the next realm stronger.

Description

Karma Keepers is a chill idle/incremental strategy game about building a small realm that gradually learns to run itself. Restore Lost Souls into Keepers, unlock the roles the realm needs, and build a Faith economy around Totems. Prayers and Extractors keep resources moving, Recollectors gather loose Faith, and defenders protect vulnerable souls as they move toward becoming Eternals.

Collected Faith becomes Karma through the realm’s Influence. Corruption Waves drain every soul’s Karma, Shadow Incursions disrupt the setup, and shielded Demons block higher Karma tiers until defeated. The player can intervene directly or invest in roles, Totems, and automation that make the realm less dependent on constant input.

Blessings strengthen the current realm. Miracles use Aether to improve whole systems. Divine Rebirth ends the current realm but keeps Ascension Points for permanent upgrades, letting the next realm start stronger and reach automation faster.

History

Karma Keepers began as my Ludum Dare 56 entry, a small incremental game made with the same custom engine. I kept the Karma realm and incremental foundation, then expanded the idea around Keeper roles, a Faith economy, automation, Corruption, and long-term progression.

Features

  • Build a self-running Faith economy around Totems and specialized Keeper roles that move resources, defend the realm, and restore vulnerable souls
  • Automate routine work without giving up control, then step in directly when Corruption Waves or Shadow Incursions put the realm under pressure
  • Turn Faith into Karma, earn Ascension Points, and break through higher tiers by defeating four shielded Demons
  • Choose from more than 100 upgrades across three layers: Blessings for the current realm, Miracles powered by Aether, and permanent Ascension Upgrades
  • Use Divine Rebirth to keep your Ascension Points and begin the next realm with a stronger foundation
