About the Game

Seed of Agony is a retro 4x platforming RPG about Demons in Space colonizing a virgin galaxy. Their Empire has fallen, and the Emperor uses the last of his magic to send the last living Seed ship, the Seed of Agony, to a new, unexplored, unconquered galaxy, in order to start a new Empire. Take control of a small army of demons grown and managed on board the Seed of Agony, travel from star system to star system, and complete planet-side missions as those demons to momentarily quell the pain of the Seed of Agony long enough for her to grow a Colony Seed, thereby expanding the Empire.

Features -

Action RPG planet-side missions featuring hundreds of aliens to conquer

Procedurally Generated systems and stages featuring dozens of different styles of generation, resulting in infinite, vastly different experiences

Dynamic Turn-based space battles, directly controlling the Seed of Agony as she faces off against space monsters

RTS base building that prioritizes rapid building/colonization/expansion

Living Ship that can grow new, expendable (read: perma-death) demons, weapons, etc.

Resource Management for the ship provides a hint of Survival

Proto-civilizations the player can interact with in different ways. Convert them to the New Demon Religion, or conquer them by causing a nearby volcano to erupt!

Write your own story -- literally! Certain missions can be recorded in Books of Demon Lore the player writes themselves via a mad-libs-style mechanic

Indefinite, persistent play. With tons of procedural possibilities, hundreds of enemies, items, demons, space monsters, base-building and way, way more, Seed of Agony is designed to be played forever.
