ACATALEPSY
A brand new take on the liminal space experience.
Your team is tasked with exploring and diving as deeply as possible into liminal spaces. Complete various tasks and dive deeper through several levels. With a procedural level generation system, the map is different and unique every single time.
Acatalepsy shines the most in multiplayer with friends; a small group is suggested to fully enjoy all aspects of Acatalepsy.
Your main goal is to complete the required number of tasks, open the final doors, and escape.
Simple, right?
_________________
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
You and your team are not the only ones inside these liminal spaces. Alongside completing your tasks, you'll need to avoid various entities that lurk within the level. Coming face-to-face with a creature here will mean certain death.
_________________
A BRIEF SOLACE
Once you have met the task threshold and your team has successfully exited a level, you will be presented with an interlude phase. Here, you can purchase additional lives, as well as sell and purchase equipment. All deceased team members will come back, but at the cost of a life.
_________________
TIME IS A FACTOR
In each level, you have as much time as you need to complete the required number of tasks. However, once the required number of tasks has been completed, you have a minimal amount of time to locate the exit doors and escape; otherwise, insanity will take over.
_________________
EVERY NEXT LEVEL DEEP IS HARDER
After the completion of every level, whether or not everyone lived or died, a new modifier will be applied to the next level. The map may be darker overall, the entity faster, more tasks required to escape, or plenty else. You need to adapt to the changing factors in order to progress as deeply as possible.

Important Notice:
Proximity voice chat is not currently present within Acatalepsy due to specific limitations. As the development of Acatalepsy progresses, I will work to add proximity voice chat as soon as possible.
Due to concerns about cheating, multiplayer is currently only available via Steam Friend Invite.
