About the Game

WHAT IS GUILT: THE DEATHLESS?


  • Guilt is a roguelike action-RPG adventure set in a persistent world all players affect
    (Note: Does NOT require internet to play)
  • Beware your guilt: the less guilty you are, the longer you may survive
  • Unlock shortcuts, share loot and build altars – to help (or hinder) others
  • Explore a non-linear world map and procedurally-generated levels, across multiple twisted landscapes
  • Unravel a dark fantasy tale inspired by Slavic folklore
  • Tread carefully: your character can die permanently, but the impact you and other players make on the world will remain

BEG FOR FORGIVENESS: Challenging freeform combat

  • Brutal but balanced real-time combat that will put your skills to the test
  • Slice, dodge and manage stamina as you slay foes small and large
  • Equip your character with an endless array of powerful weapons, armors, spells and enchantments

SHARE THE REALM: A lonely path – not a lonely world

  • Your journey is solitary and unique – but the world is shared with other players
  • Contribute to – or steal from – world-changing projects with others
  • Uncover signs of others’ passing: loot, corpses, constructions...
  • Hunt for your own corpse from past lives – but make haste, or others will beat you to it
  • Traverse varied territories, from a sea of shipwrecks to an underground library

WALK THE TRAIL: A dark and violent tale

  • A rich fantasy adventure through a dark and twisted world inspired by Slavic folklore
  • After a world-ruining disaster, the great sorcerer Koschei locks you into a dark pact to save the realm. Will you heed his every command?
  • Encounter twisted, enigmatic characters who might enrich you – or ruin you – on your journey
