The Story

The end of the world is already here.

A 16-bit gothic metroidvania set months into the end of the world. The Lord of Midnight, sealed away ages ago, has woken, and the dead now rise to serve him while demons from other dimensions burn the world down. Rednil is one of the last towns standing, and it won't stand long.

You are Lucien Vale, a top-hatted duelist with a whip, a sharp tongue and a cursed bloodline. Explore the Cursed Woods, the catacombs, the burned quarter of Rednil and the ruins beneath it. Take jobs from the Hunters' Guild, forge your weapons, uncover buried secrets and fight brutal bosses like Thornfang, the Bone Warden and the Gravebound Reaper.

Between it all lies the Sanctum, a realm outside of time that moves only when told. Its runes can carry you anywhere you remember, but they only open for the worthy, or for those with power beyond understanding. Its Keeper hasn't decided which one you are.

The night is open.
