About the Game

Hiding deeply within the Forest of Smoke. 
Reaching towards the Tunnel of Perseverance. 
Leaving its mark on the Alley of Reflections. 
Shuffling vehemently through an Arrangement of Locks.

"You will never reach the Dream you seek. All that awaits you on this path is heartbreak."

Red Blade in hand, the Blue Rabbit begins her hazy crusade. With scarlet apparitions at her side - nothing will stand in her way.

Fast-Paced Action Slasher

  • Face dozens of strange machines, built for a strange purpose

  • Cut through enemies before they can take a shot, or engage from afar using the Red Blade's power

  • 4 Segmented stages to traverse, holding vague hints and recollections

  • 4 selectable modes of play for experienced and newbie Visitors, each with its own finale

  • 2 stranded Rabbits connected by fate

  • 1 bedtime story to be told

As the realm shifts, your choices and aggression carve a path. Trust your instincts, hold no regrets. And if that doesn't work...

Well...

Just go to sleep.

Rotschwert is a horizontal bullet-hell set in a dreamy, unknown world. While not strictly a horror game, certain parts may induce fear or paranoia. Caution is advised.
