About Demonic Mahjong
Demonic Mahjong mixes classic Mahjong scoring with a roguelike deck‑building loop. In each run you arrange tiles to earn points while recruiting spirit allies, relics, and offerings that shape your strategy. The game is single‑player on Windows and macOS and supports Steam achievements, cloud saves, and family sharing. Beyond the score, you travel through an underworld filled with events and 24 distinct bosses; choices made in the events influence later battles, and each boss defeat is marked by a special animation.
