About the Game

The Holy Crusade Has Breached The Abyss.

Humanity has found an unholy way to tear into the realm of fantasy. Under the banner of divine light, the Watcher-Priests have descended into the subterranean depths, capturing monsters and torturing the undead in the name of their god. You awaken in the heart of their newly constructed dungeon—a vampire fledgling with a singular mission: save the "Evil" from the hands of the "Holy."

MASTER YOUR DUAL FORMS Survival requires mastering your two distinct states. Seamlessly shift into your Bat form to traverse high rafters, glide over lethal traps, and remain entirely undetectable in the deepest shadows. Revert to your Human form to physically overpower isolated Watcher-Priests, manipulate the environment, and break the iron cages of your captive kin. Knowing when to shift is the difference between escaping and burning.

FREE YOUR KIN You are not alone in the abyssal cathedral. As you navigate the labyrinthine dungeon, you will find other creatures of the night trapped in gothic iron cages. Freeing these imprisoned monsters is crucial—they will aid you in your journey, opening new paths and helping you turn the tide against your captors.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Dynamic Shapeshifting: Morph between Human and Bat forms instantly to adapt to environmental hazards and outmaneuver the Inquisition.

  • Reverse-Horror Stealth: Evade the lethal, glowing scepters of the Watcher-Priests. Stick to the shadows, manage your visibility, and strike only when necessary.

  • Allies in the Dark: Rescue captured monsters and tortured undead to gain tactical advantages and uncover the dark history of the human invasion.

  • Atmospheric Pixel Art: Explore a hauntingly beautiful subterranean world brought to life with deep abyssal greens, oppressive gothic architecture, and punishing holy light.
