About This Demo

Don't Kill the Messenger is a bullet hell roguelike dungeon crawler where you must traverse a kingdom and deliver a message of pending doom to the king without first dying yourself! 

Hazards, traps, monsters, and more are around every corner and even the king himself may have something to hide.

In This Demo

The Don't Kill the Messenger demo includes the outer farmland region of the kingdom. You'll encounter the first few enemies, many of the various randomized story events, dozens of loot items and curses, and two of the many bosses from the final game.

The Messenger

Dodging is your primary means of survival, but scavenge for resources and use your surroundings to turn the table on those that hinder your quest.

The Kingdom

Choose your path across the kingdom to best survive and discover the secrets of the world around you. Procedural levels and randomized events make every run unique from the last.

LOOT (and Curses)

Sometimes good things happen, and sometimes bad things happen. Good things can make you feel overpowered until you dive head first into that lake on accident while bad things can feel bad until you realize that deadly magical orbs chasing you are also deadly to monsters.
