About This Game

In the fell clutch of circumstance

      I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

      My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Excerpt from Invictus by William Ernest Henley

• Explore Swashbuckling Pirate Lands Twisted by Eldritch Influence

The Twisted Lands are a cursed archipelago of danger, treasure, and eldritch ruin.

Explore uncharted coasts and take whatever you can carry. Smuggler’s hideouts, underwater ship graveyards, and coastal forts await those bold enough to plunder them, but their denizens will not part with their riches willingly.

Explore ship graveyards and forgotten coasts, each hiding secrets to plunder

• Master Challenging Combat

Battle through The Twisted Lands against enemies who punish hesitation and reward mastery.

Timing is critical. Parries, counterattacks, dodge rolls, and stance breaks create openings for decisive blows while passive play leads to death.

Parry at range with well-timed firearm shots to punish openings

• Choose Your Fate

Begin as one of eight playable classes, each with their own passive and active abilities, weapon loadouts, and identity.

Whether you favor brutal melee, finesse hybrids with firearms and parries, or eldritch spellcraft that warps reality, the choice is yours to make.

The Bruiser thrives in close combat as a stalwart brawler wielding a massive anchor

• Embrace Madness

Sanity is both a resource and a curse.

As it drops, you lose maximum health and the world shifts against you, but your power grows in terrifying ways. Some routes, secrets, and treasures are only revealed to those who risk their mind.

How far will you go before breaking?

As sanity frays, the world shifts: new foes, new treasure, new horrors

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Unbowed contains depictions of fantasy combat with melee weapons and firearms. Blood effects appear during combat but are not graphic or gory. Themes of cosmic horror and psychological dread are present throughout. The opening cutscene includes a brief, non-graphic drowning, and one optional text log references a past suicide.
