About the Game



Game Features:

  • A unique combat system - unconventional movement that rewards precise aiming and mastery over strategy, patience, and quick thinking.
  • KO enemies with melee attacks, stomp them for ammunition, use that newfound ammo to shred through enemies with a variety of interesting bullet types.
  • Switch between Demon and Angel mode for unique additions to combat and exploration.
  • A short but sweet horror adventure through the depths of an apocalyptic wasteland.
  • Monstrous Boss Battles to test your limits, barely scrape through with your limbs still attached… hopefully.
  • Explore a vile and beautiful interconnected world.





Story:

The Brothers Heathcliff and Locke invent a weapon of mass destruction, The Gear. This mechanical disease devours matter, digesting said matter into more of itself. I.E. It is a self replicating machine that uses every living and nonliving thing as a fuel source.



A universe is eaten in it’s entirety.

In a desperate gambit for more fuel, The Gear invades another dimension, The Godhead.

You are a Soldier, unwillingly drafted into a horrible conflict. At the height of battle, a monster is born from the moon. The Gear is unleashed in the Godhead, and now it’s on you to fix it.

  • Untangle the Web of how The Gear came to be.
  • Meet ghoulishly endearing characters who will help you on your journey.
  • Grow closer with them through sidequests.
  • End the nightmare of The Gear, once and for all!
