Awakening

You wake in an unfamiliar place. The sky is heavy and grey, the ground soaked, and the roar of the ocean echoes behind you. Rising to your feet, you notice a dark figure ahead, a red lantern swaying in its grasp. It is no man, more bone than flesh , yet it does not strike you as hostile. As you draw closer, the figure offers you the souls of the damned. Spirits to be reanimated and bound to your will. These lost souls are granted one final chance to fight, redeem themselves, and escape this forsaken place, forever lashed by unending rain and wind.

About the game

Shadows of Thornkeep is a dark fantasy dungeon crawler where you guide a band of lost souls on expeditions across a mysterious island. Featuring grid-based exploration and turn-based combat, the game blends rogue-lite elements with traditional dungeon crawling. Death is not permanent — your heroes have already fallen once — but preparing them for the next journey always comes at a cost. Manage your party and camp, gather loot, and face relentless horrors, all brought to life in handcrafted pixel art.

• Grid-based dungeon crawling – explore twisted halls and cursed landscapes in classic step by step fashion.

• Turn-based combat – command your party in tactical battles where every action matters, no real time nonsense sidesteping around monsters to avoid beign hit.

• Rogue-lite elements – death is not the end, but revival comes with a price.

• Party & camp management – prepare your lost souls, tend to their needs, and keep them fit for the next expedition.

• Loot-centric progression – discover powerful gear, cursed relics, and resources to survive the island’s trials.

• Handcrafted pixel art – dark atmosphere brought to life with detailed, pixel by pixel crafted sprites.

AI生成コンテンツの開示

開発者は、ゲームでのAI生成コンテンツの使用について次のように説明しています。

AI helped me a lot when moving from GML to C#. The music in the Early Access version is also AI generated this is just a free-time hobby project and I mainly needed some semi ambient tracks to set the mood. Later on, I plan to purchase proper human made tracks before the full release. Towards the end of development I also used an AI plugin for Aseprite to speed up animating some of my own hand drawn sprites, but the very vast majority of the graphics was made by me, handcrafted, pixel by pixel.
