About the Game

Death-worshipping cult is plunging the world into darkness by using Varjomana to resurrect the dead, but they made a huge mistake: THEY RESURRECTED ALSO YOU, an ancient battlemage. Once forgotten, now reborn.

Step into the chaotic realm of Varjomana, a high-adrenaline, retro-inspired shooter. Harness the power of dual-wield magic, where each hand operates independently.

Fight a death-worshipping cult bent on raising the dead and plunging the world into eternal darkness. With tight controls, lightning-fast gameplay, and a vibrant retro aesthetic, Varjomana throws you back into the golden era of FPS games. 

Key Features:

  • Speedrun Friendly: Arcade-style movement and fast pacing make it ideal for speedrunning.

  • 1990s Retro Style: Low poly art and nostalgic soundscapes transport you to the golden age of shooters.

  • Spellcasting Freedom: Wield independent spells in both hands to solve each situation by your own way.

Perfect your spells, speed up your movement, and become the shadow that stands against the darkness!
