About the Game

In Branded For Sacrifice, you play as one of four "Branded" individuals who have been selected as a sacrificial lamb. You awaken in a Mansion whose only other occupant is a strange woman who bids you slay the demons prowling the planet, and bring their Tithe back to her, in exchange for power.

Death is not the end for you, Branded. When you fall in battle, you lose your accumulated Tithe and awaken again in the Mansion. Continue to fight and discover the source of your brand and what the sacrifice really means.

Play as any of the 4 unique characters, and complete optional side quests for unique rewards and secret party members, and experience multiple distinct endings to the game. Experience challenging but winnable turn based combat and bosses in the 5 different dungeons, each with their own strategy to learn. Included in the program files is a PDF Walkthrough with information on the Main Story Quest, Side Quests, and Boss Battles.

All content in this game is created using RPG Maker Event Processing, as an experiment in the capabilities of the program, and does NOT feature any Generative AI or AI assisted content. I hope you enjoy!
