About This Game

Impious is a dark, turn-based roguelite RPG that immerses you in the oppressive depths of an underground indoctrination center set in a time reminiscent of modern days, yet not quite our present. As one of the "Impious," you are captured for your sins and subjected to the brutal attempts of a medieval sect to cleanse your soul through pain and obedience. Will you reclaim your freedom, or will you succumb to the brainwashing horrors within?
