About This Game

No Generative AI

Everything in this game (story, images, music, code...) is made by a human WITHOUT the use of any AI. An authentic human experience.

• Every monster you encounter plays a unique role in the story.

• Uncover secrets about each enemy to exploit their weaknesses in battle.

• Fill out a bestiary to track each monster's evolution and revealed secrets.

Treasure hunt for hidden story fragments

A passion project made by one person

This game is a passion project developed entirely by one person. It doesn't use generative AI.

It's been a difficult journey, taking far longer than anticipated, but I truly hope you'll enjoy the experience.

I tried something new, a refreshing gameplay experience I haven't encountered in other games I've played.

Your feedback is invaluable! Please share your thoughts, as they will directly help me refine my next game, which is already in development.

Beautiful hand-drawn Pixel-Art

• I drew all the art myself by hand.

• A warm summer with a gentle wind in the tree branches.

• A mystical autumn with colorful leaves dancing in the wind.

• A cold winter with snow falling peacefully.

• A storm with hard rain and wind.

• A dark, forbidden abyss full of monsters.

• ... And other places!

Relaxing ambiance and beautiful music

When you're not slaying evil beings, you can just chill and listen to the beautiful atmosphere.
