About the Game

Derision


You awake to the bars of your prison cell sliding open. You apprehensively peak outside and the dark, towering form of a Lich patrolling in the distance is the reason why.

Can you find a way to escape this nightmarish dungeon?
Use your discernment to navigate your way past Liches, disguise yourself, and find the key to your escape.

You will receive aid on your journey, will you aid others after you?
Help those imprisoned with you, and those that come after you. Or not...

Even if you make it out, will anyone believe you? Or will your stories be met with Derision?
These are questions you can provide the answers to with multiple endings based on your decisions.
