About the Game

Step into the world of the Endless Palace

BERENICE is a gothic horror roguelite where every step is a trial, and the palace around you lives its own mysterious life.

You play as Herman, a hunter trapped inside the Endless Palace, forced to fight for survival in a world where architecture defies the laws of physics and shadows whisper thoughts that aren’t yours.
His goal: his long-lost beloved, Berenice, whose voice echoes through a labyrinth of halls, bridges, and arches.
But the palace will not let him go so easily...

Gameplay features:

  • A procedurally endless palace
    Each section reshapes itself - there is no path to memorize. You can only move forward.

  • Three major biomes - Edinburgh, the Sunken City, and the Palace Vaults
    Each with its own logic, mood, and lore-bound boss.

  • Flexible combat and weapon builds - Pick up, discard, adapt on the go. Every weapon has its own durability and playstyle.

  • Interactive memories -Unlock fragments of the past through the journal. Control shadows. Customize the face of Berenice.

  • A philosophical story of order, fear, and obsession - Herman searches for peace - but the deeper he goes, the more the palace becomes him.

  • Audio as orientation - Silence deceives. Hums guide. Berenice’s voice calls - but where?

This isn’t just a horror-action game. It’s a question:

Where do you go when the path never ends?
