A GOD'S GREATEST SIN IS THE BIRTH OF ITS CREATION
Enter an ASCII bullet hell and carve your way towards humanity's most feared weapons... and take them down.
Your enemies are many, so you will die. A lot. But metal is cheap, and parts can be swapped. So you can keep trying as much as you need. It is not you catching the bullets anyway.
Experience:
Over 3000 lines of dialogue
6 unique Endings
7 unique Bosses
Almost 200 unique Upgrade pick-ups
And much more
C424 "Cara" - Gen 4 Combat Android
Your weapon. Your arms and legs. The instrument to enact your will. She is yours to command and yours to do with as you see fit.
Or your trusted partner, your missing half, and maybe, even your friend. It all depends entirely on you.
Each run will leave its mark on her body.
Take care of her well!
Deep, Multi-Layered Lore
Explore Strata 13 and discover the origins and horrors of the Human-Android conflict that spans millennia.
Learn about the fractured humanity, shattered and spread through the hundreds of Strata which encompass the Megastructure and the vicious Androids, organized into an ultimate extermination force, trying to hunt humanity down to extinction.
Fight, Unlock, Upgrade
Defeat enemies and use the data and upgrades you collect to turn C424 into a weapon that fits your playstyle. If only fate would be so kind as to give you what you need. But the Admin must make do.
Will you trade speed for defense?
Make your bullets bounce between targets?
Or bypass all safety restrictions to triple your fire rate?
About the Project
This is my first ever attempt at making a game. I wanted to see how far I can go on my own. And here you can see the result. I loved every second of building this thing, and I hope you will have fun with it too.
I also really want to hear your thoughts so I can keep improving it.
