About This Game

A WHIMSICAL HORROR ROGUELITE

A 2D bullet hell platforming roguelite about descending through a research facility that has been overrun by horrors.

Pick from a varied cast of companions with their own skills, perks, and gameplay styles. Each companion will contain multiple skill kits which fully changes how they play.

Fight, dodge, and weave your way through hand-crafted encounters and procedurally arranged floors.

All of it wrapped in a dialog-rich story with colorful characters, dark secrets, and questionable advice.

THE SISTERS AND THE FACILITY

Everdawn was built to hold monsters, and to take them apart. It kept faeries and their courts captive for years. Experimenting on them for as long as their frail little bodies could hold.

One day, something in the lowest levels went very, very wrong. The soldiers sent down never came back up. The floors began to trade places. Things started growing in the halls. Warm, restless, terribly hungry things.

Ellowyn got out. A winter fae, small, winged, precise. An older sister first and guardian second, she has spent her whole life keeping people safe, putting herself in danger so the others could fly carefree. She is down to only one faery.

Asyn, her sister, fights at her side in a stolen body. She is loud where Ellowyn is quiet, the first through every door, facing every fight with a cheerful smile. They are terrified of losing each other, and they have opposite strategies for preventing it.

Together they go back down into the dark labyrinth that kept their family, looking for whoever might still be alive, and for the truth of what was done to them.

EACH RUN, A LITTLE FURTHER

Unlock permanent upgrades with each run.

New companions. New weapons. New talents. New relics.

Somewhere down there, your family is waiting.

Go.
