About the Game

Together


Children of the most powerful wizard, Isis, and Daemon, are an unmatched duo. Isis is an adept swordsman with summoning and fire magic, while Daemon is a walking tank with psychic abilities. Play as either one or team up with a friend locally to experience both.

Story

Five years ago, the sibling's father waged war to protect humanity from evil spirits. He mysteriously vanished but was victorious in stopping the evil. Since then, the sibling's mother has become the village leader. But one day, while out she was cursed by a witch and fell ill. She only has seven days to live unless her children can climb the Highest Mountain in the land and pick a flower—a flower from the heavens that cures any ailment. To get there, the siblings must travel to the spirit realm and cross the swamp, forest, and battle terrifying creatures. Will they get the flower in time, or will they die trying?

Replayability


In each run, the world map will be generated to provide you with a similar but different experience as you travel to the top of the mountain. You must choose your path, stop along the way to heal, get items, and visit the wandering merchant. Each waypoint you visit will use up the time remaining in your day, and if you fail to get the flower within seven days or die before then, it’s game over.

But Death is not your end. Failure is not an Option.

A New Genre


Combat is comprised of light/heavy attacks and unique abilities mixed with powerful upgrades that give you an edge in combat. Most upgrades will make the battle easier, but you must still dodge/block properly and prioritize certain enemies to survive.

The game aims to be a mix between souls-like and survivors-like to provide a unique experience.

Survival Mode


Face endless waves of enemies and environmental challenges on a small map to get the best high score. Play solo or with a friend. Unlock more upgrades in survival mode by playing the story and try different upgrade combinations to learn hidden synergies.

This will be the playable mode in the demo.
