About This Game

Savannah College of Art and Design - Student Capstone Game 2025

This is a short game created over 6 months by our team of 5 undergraduate students

Featured at GDC 2025 - SCAD Booth

Fight your way through Sanctus and Malum, the Realms of the Afterlife. Simultaneously play as the Mage and the Warrior, split from a soul torn between the two worlds, as you attempt to relink your soul back together and escape death.

In this Hack and Slash ARPG, you grow stronger as you gain new abilities during your journey, with unique ability sets between the two characters you play as. You must make use of all your abilities to match elements to what enemies are vulnerable to.

Features:

  • Puzzle Combat: Match colored elemental attacks to the enemies' stacks of hearts to be able to damage them, requiring the deliberate use of abilities between both the Mage and Warrior.

  • Satisfying Fast-Paced Action: You must be agile and decisive in how you approach combat to effectively cut through the defenders of the afterlife!

  • Two Worlds At Once: Instantly and seamlessly swap between Sanctus and Malum, inverse worlds of each other, as you fight the variety of unique enemies within each. Discover hidden combat encounters and upgrades on your journey!

  • Customizable Controls: Every ability can be bound to any key/button on your ability hotbar, and can be rebound to let you play with any control scheme to best fit you! There is also full parity between Mouse and Keyboard and Controller. (Game plays best with Controller)

  • Adaptive Original Soundtrack: Listen to unique tracks that respond to your gameplay, with music seamlessly blending to different themes between Sanctus and Malum.

Will you face your judgement and destroy those that stand in your path to escape the Afterlife, or will your soul be severed and your fate lost forever?
