About This Demo

This is the demo for Prison of Husks, which contains the first level and boss fight of what will become the full game. You can explore the first level, uncover secrets and shortcuts, and get a good feel for the combat and gameplay I’m aiming for in the final version. It’s still in early development, and I would appreciate any feedback.

Your soul has found its new vessel in the Lithos Plateau, a heavenly afterlife painted by the hand of a pure heart. Yet, all that is left is a desolate landscape that is crumbling beneath your feet.

What put its painter to rest? Where is your love?

She depends on you. Seek your beloved.

VICTORY BY ANY MEANS

Engage actively in combat to boost your damage output and parry attacks to regain stamina to keep up the pace. Modify your build with Rings and Brooches to optimise your playstyle.

From parries to pistols, PRISON OF HUSKS offers an arsenal of weapons to experiment with.

DENSE LEVEL DESIGN

Overcome adversity in whichever method you desire. Inspired by the complex level design of earlier souls games, PRISON OF HUSKS aims to recapture the magic of wandering a compact and dense world full of shortcuts that loop back on themselves. Uncover secrets in every nook. 

Every step taken is a step closer to your love.

BREAK HEARTS, RESTORE LOVE

Challenge fearless hoarders of pigment whose desires stand in your way and defeat them in whichever order you wish.

As you search for your dear, you may assist others whose hearts ache and restore love. However you will also face off against bosses whose desires for one another stand in your way.
