Underhand

Underhand Lead a Cthulhu cult in Underhand, a strategy card game of god summoning, event choices, and resource management. Every decision shapes your cult’s growth and the fate of the summoning ritual.

Underhand

Underhand is a Cthulhu-inspired card strategy game where you step into the role of a cult commander. Before each round, you choose which gods to call forth. Then, as you play, you draw event cards from the deck, carefully manage your cult’s resources, and decide how to react to what the world throws at you.

Every choice you make shapes how your cult grows—and it can decide whether your summoning ritual succeeds or falls apart. Expect unsettling-yet-beautiful artwork and immersive sound effects that pull you into a Cthulhu world full of mystery and magic.

How to Play

Tap Play to enter the preparation screen.

• Choose the gods you want to draw power from.
• The usual maximum is 3 gods.
• If you managed to summon a god in the previous match, the maximum increases to 4.
• You can only select a god you have already successfully summoned.
• Confirm your selection by tapping the arrow in the upper-right.

In-Game Interface

• Your hand appears at the bottom, showing the different resources you currently hold.
• The number at the bottom indicates your current card count in hand.
• At the top, you’ll see events that are pending or currently being handled.

Event Processing (Example Explanation)

• Orange options are currently selectable.
• Light-colored options are possible using your available hand resources.
• Darkened options are not achievable right now.

Each option is shown in three sections:

• Top: what the option does / describes the choice.
• Middle: the cost to take it (usually sacrificing some resources).



• Bottom: the outcome (often granting resources).

To pay the cost, drag the required resource cards from your hand to the eye icon in the center when you spend them.

Quick Access Menu

You can open this interface by clicking the gear icon in the upper-right during gameplay.

• The left and right sides match the main game interface.
• The top option is Resume, which takes you back to the current match.
• The bottom option is Forfeit, which lets you abandon the current run. (This is recommended to use fairly often.)

FAQs

Is Underhand safe for my device?

Yes. Underhand is designed to follow the Google Play content guidelines, helping ensure it’s safe to use on your Android device.

What is an XAPK file, and what should I do if the one I downloaded is an XAPK?

An .xapk file is a compressed package format. It acts as a container that includes the APK plus additional files needed for installation. The XAPK format was created to bundle the APK and OBB files together for a smoother install process.

Using the XAPK format can also help reduce the overall package size. On mobile phones, you typically install an XAPK installer first, then install the XAPK through that tool. You can find an installer here: https://apkcombo.com/how-to-install/. On PC, you can use LDPlayer by placing the file there.

Can I play Underhand on my computer?

Yes. You can play Underhand on PC by installing LDPlayer, an Android emulator. After installing LDPlayer, drag and drop the downloaded APK into the emulator to start playing. Alternatively, open LDPlayer, search for the game/app, and install it directly from the emulator.

Final Thoughts

Underhand brings an original card-game experience with both fresh gameplay ideas and impressive visuals. The setting draws from the Cthulhu Mythos, making it a real treat for fans of Lovecraft.
