About the Game

SLOW PACED ATMOSPHERIC HORROR

Explore decrepit cities, claustrophobic caves, forests and even the wastelands of Antarctica. Avoid and hide from the unnatural monsters around you. Listen for the footsteps and wheezing through doors, while limping to the next drawer or cabinet, hoping to find anything to help you.

BALANCE RESOURCES FOR THE SHORT- AND LONG-TERM

Manage what little supplies you find to push problems into the future while making tough short-term sacrifices to solve more pressing issues.
Spend time to cook a can of meat into more nutritional value or medicate your terminal illness? Leave behind a vital crafting component for some bandages to patch up a bleeding wound?
There is never enough options to solve everything, be careful and stay hidden from the terrible monstrosities that now skulk this world.

PERMA-DEATH MECHANICS AND RANDOMIZATION

Dreadveil features randomized environments with handmade rooms and assets. The slow-paced horror mixed with the nervousness of losing your progress when dying creates a tense, sometimes panicked experience when things go wrong. Something spots you, doors swing open, gunshots and screaming monsters.
