A grinning 19 and a hunched 6 wait across the battlefield, while cards and numbered dice fill the bottom of the screen. In Talystro, those expressive figures are opponents as well as numbers to calculate against. Norwegian studio Filiokus released a second demo on November 13, adding a haunted act to its hand-drawn deckbuilder.
Filiokus introduces the new Talystro demo in its official trailer.

Every number has a face
The player guides the Math Mouse against the Necrodicer's corrupted numbers. Filiokus describes the animation as hand-drawn and says it has continued to develop since the first demo. In the released images, individual numbers have faces, limbs and distinct expressions, giving the arithmetic a cast of characters.

Cards, dice and exact damage
Players combine dice with unfinished calculations on cards to match an enemy's value exactly. The new demo adds The Haunted Crossing and its Dreadhorse boss, along with new cards, artefacts, enchantments and leaderboards. Filiokus says the full game is planned for early 2027; its Steam listing does not yet give a specific date.
