Get Yoked places the player in a world where bodybuilding is turned into a strategic simulation. The setting combines gym culture with the logic of a deck-building game. Instead of lifting weights directly, the player uses workout cards that represent exercises, supplements, and recovery routines. Each session functions as a training cycle that determines how well the character develops across different muscle groups. The gym acts as a backdrop for decision-making rather than a location for physical control, transforming personal fitness into a sequence of calculated choices.

Gameplay and System Design

The structure of Get Yoked is based on incremental progress and deck optimization. The player must build a combination of cards that define their training plan.
Key mechanics include:

•         Selecting exercise cards to target specific body parts.
•         Managing fatigue, which increases with intensity and limits available actions.
•         Using recovery or nutrition cards to restore energy or prevent injury.
•         Competing in staged challenges that test accumulated strength and endurance.
  Each turn represents a short training phase. Success depends on how efficiently the player balances growth and rest, ensuring the deck remains sustainable through multiple cycles.

Strategy and Development

Progress in Get Yoked is tied to learning how different cards interact. Each category of workout produces unique effects: upper body routines may deliver fast results but increase fatigue, while balanced training maintains stability. The player must choose between specialization — focusing on one muscle group — or general improvement across all areas. As the campaign advances, competitions introduce stricter requirements, forcing players to rework their decks to meet new performance thresholds. Repetition becomes a tool for refinement, where each failed run provides data for the next attempt.

Interface and Visual Layout

The interface presents the gym environment through a card-based layout. Each card displays an exercise, rest action, or supplement, while resource meters track fatigue, recovery, and total “Gains.” The player can access menus to view their current deck, monitor progress, or adjust strategy between sessions. Visual presentation remains functional: the background imitates a training area, while icons and numerical indicators deliver constant feedback. The system is optimized for quick runs, allowing players to complete multiple sessions in one sitting.
