About This Game

Garenburg Penitence is an action-puzzle arcade game and visual novel about matching sphere colors and exploring the collapsing psyche that destroyed the world.

With over 70 unique level maps, additional game modes, a level editor, and a tragic tale spanning across eight databases, learn the story of a fragile girl and her regretful actions.

If everything has a cost, then how much would it be to make the world a better place?

  • Fast, dynamic arcade gameplay. Fire spheres and match colors before they reach the end, and speed up or slow down to retain accuracy!

  • Story Mode: Clear a campaign of 130 levels with three difficulty options and unlock files to understand the truth of the world

  • File System: Spanning eight databases and consisting of around 80,000 words, read the pieces that make up a tragedy. If her story is not your interest, it is not necessary to read to experience the gameplay

  • Six different worlds with unique themes and 12 unique level maps each for a total of 72 levels

  • Five different gameplay modes, including Classic, No Mistakes, GREEN, Wave (difficulty increases over time), and Unwind (relaxing mode)

  • Custom Level Editor: Full support for player-made levels via both the Steam Workshop and local level loading

  • Multiplayer Versus: Grab an enemy or friend and battle to see who can get the most score or survive the longest

  • An original, dynamic soundtrack that changes as danger increases

  • Numerous configurable accessibility settings to change effects and visuals

This game relies on color matching and has fast movement and imagery. While some fast visual effects can be toggled off, distinguishing colors apart from each other is a key component of gameplay. There are multiple accessibility options for custom colors and other settings to help aid in this, but please keep this in mind if you have colorblindness.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

No violent content is visually depicted as the story is conveyed purely in writing.

However, the story focuses on topics of war and the violence that comes with it.
