About This Demo

⪻ Note ⪼

The demo (coming very soon) covers a portion of the first area and doesn’t yet include all major systems — skills, upgrades, and a few NPCs are still in progress. That said, you’ll get a solid taste of the combat, the tone, and the mirror-world weirdness that defines the full game.

I’d love to hear your feedback on what’s here already, so I can shape the rest of the game into something as fun (and emotionally devastating) as possible. Thanks for stepping inside early.

⪻ About the Game ⪼

You are the sword.

Be the Sword is a narrative-heavy roguelite that follows Ignis Caltierra (or Iggy, for short) as he enters inside the Mirror Dimension in seek of the mythical figure of the Lady of the Mirror. 

Amongst the many things he did expect, becoming a literal sword forced to face his inner demons before ever getting to meet her was not one of them.

Face off against part of the first areas in the game, the Full Moon, characterized by a once noble environment fallen to it's own violence. 

⪻ Features ⪼

• Fast, visceral face-to-face (or face-to-blade?) combat

• Fight your inner demons, personified as characters within the Full Moon's glow

• Try out 4 of the many items that will be available on the full game

• Unique, hand-drawn pixel animations

• Talk to Mirror natives and other lost souls

• The very beginning of a story that has... frankly too much lore

• Made during hospital visits, built out of sheer determination and a lot of spite
