About the Game

The minimalistic gameplay and the retro pixel-art makes it easy to get started and deep dive into the dark worlds of Requiem of Dread.

Embark on an adventure into the darkness to defeat foes and bosses with increasing difficulty.

Fight your way through 3 handcrafted dungeon maps, from haunted graveyards, monster-filled forests to the empty tombs in the pyramids.

Beware of what you will find there! We composed a melodic horror sound that will companion you through the exciting experience.

This is a student project made in Godot 4.3. In a group of four students, we had two months to learn and adapt different techniques and create this alpha version.

The music is handcrafted and composed to immerse the player into a world of death, destruction and discomfort. The bosses will do everything to keep you on the edge of your seat, so don't take too much time to appreciate their animations. The skill tree allows you to spend your collected coins on buffs. Open the skill tree, go on a shopping spree and come back to finally kill the reaper!

Controls: Play with mouse and keyboard.
