About This Game

Enter an ASCII bullet hell and carve your way towards humanity's most feared weapons... and take them down.

Your enemies are many, so you will die. A lot. But metal is cheap, and parts can be swapped. So you can keep trying as much as you need. It is not you catching the bullets anyway, and you know she can take it.

C424 "Cara" - Gen 4 Combat Android

Your weapon. Your arms and legs. The instrument to enact your will. She is yours to command and yours to do with as you see fit.

Or your trusted partner, your missing half, and maybe, even your friend. It all depends entirely on you.

Deep, Multi-Layered Lore

Explore Strata 13 and discover the origins and horrors of the Human-Android conflict that spans millennia.

The fractured humanity, shattered and spread through the hundreds of Strata which encompass the Megastructure; The vicious Androids, organized into an ultimate extermination force, trying to hunt humanity down to extinction. The thousands of years...

And, in a small bubble inside Strata 13, a Strata so far down that neither Androidkind nor Humans consider it relevant, the Admin forms this unusual pact with an Android. 

Fight, Unlock, Upgrade

Defeat enemies and use the data and upgrades you collect to turn C424 into a weapon that fits your playstyle. If only fate would be so kind as to give you what you need. But the Admin must make do.

Multiple Endings

Which enemy will you face first? Who will you aid and who will you destroy? Everything matters. Your mistakes add up, and forgiveness is hard to come by. 

Life was never fair. But death is wise. It first picks out the weak, those who waver. Was humanity too weak? Did they abandon their spirit? Did they fall into complacency and forgetfulness? Is their appointment with death and oblivion overdue? The Admin would think so. But death is incremental. It rarely comes in one fell swoop. How you bring that about is your choice.

About This Project

Blood in the Panopticon is my first attempt at telling a story through an interactive experience. I am developing this game largely alone (albeit with the love and support of those around me) and have been doing so in my free time for more or less one year now, and I have so much more work ahead of me.

There are many skills I have yet to acquire, many systems I need to code, and so much more dialogue that I need to write. But I hope I will have a Demo ready within the next couple of months. 
I sincerely thank you for taking a look at this page, and I can't wait to have more things to show.
