A classic late-90s / early 2000s narrative driven survival-horror game, set in a fictional universe full of century old mysteries to uncover.
You play as Douglas Hayles, the one who bears the mark of the king of shades and tasked with an impossible mission that cannot be achieved within a single lifespan.
From strings he rises anew
A benumbed awakening strew
Afore destinies window strays
Be pallor and roots set ablaze
So wanton grief that ought breath
May under Aine’s shadow wreathe.

FEATURES:

Choose both the combat and puzzle difficulty according to your preferences.
Cinematic fixed camera level design.
Classic tank controls movement system.
Limited supplies and inventory space.
Limited amount of lives per play-through, every decision you make has a cost.
In real-time resource management, preparation before every engagement is key to survival.

[ver.0.2.5-demo] - Stability update and difficulty balance.

Comment:

Hello everyone!
Addingthe automatic crash reporter in the last patch seems to have already paidoff!
A user triggered a crash last weekend, and I managed tofind a second one yesterday.
Getting an automatic detailed report ofcrashes helped a ton with finding and fixing these issuesrapidly!

Below is the list of small quality of life anddifficulty improvements and crash fixes!

[/*]

New Features:

[/*]

Adjustments:

Added an inner monologue textprompt to help players know what to do on the second part of thefirst level.

[/*]
Added a tutorial for the firsttime the player fails to pick up an item due to having a fullinventory.
The default notification icon for when this occurswas not clear enough on its own.

[/*]
Normal combat difficultyrebalance:
[list]
Removed Fleres ability toaccelerate over time while aware of the player
(Fleresacceleration received a slight reduction on all other combatdifficulties.)

[/*]

Normal/Hard combat difficultyrebalance:

Removed 1 enemy from the exterior areas of the level.

[/*]

King of Shades combatdifficulty rebalance:

Reduced Fleres health to the same level as the nightmare difficulty.
[list]
Flere in this difficulty already has an extra ability, hits harder, and moves overall faster; the additional health was honestly overkill and took away some of the fun of fighting the enemy (nobody likes bullet sponges:( ).
