About This Game

They remember your name. They remember how to make you stay.

A Halloween adventure and a mirror that should never have been touched draw five friends into an unfamiliar world.

Now wielding elemental magic, they must climb a tower guarded by twisted versions of the teachers, classmates, and familiar faces they once trusted. Finding a way home means confronting creatures that still remember who they are.

THE COVEN is a single-player, top-down action roguelite built around distinct characters, talent choices, equipment, and time rewinds. Choose your witch, light a candle, and begin your ascent through sixteen floors.

Five witches. Five ways to fight.

Each witch has her own skills, talents, and approach to managing resources:

• Aurelia, Witch of Gold: Wield golden blades, unleash rapid volleys, and weave through enemies with agile movement.

• Vespera, Witch of Fire: Build up energy for devastating flame spears and falling meteors, combining heavy bursts with lingering fire.

• Selene, Witch of Water: Restore energy through basic attacks, then unleash waves, returning rings, and swirling vortices.

• Sylvie, Witch of Wood: Place temporary magical plants to create a battlefield of piercing thorns, bursting pods, and ancient trees.

• Petra, Witch of Earth: Command a clay golem, restore its health, and develop different companion forms through your talents.

Keep a light in the dark.

Darkness conceals the tower around you. Candlelight reveals the way, helping you read enemy movements, navigate obstacles, and plan an escape route.

Changing room layouts and distinctive courtyards demand different approaches to movement and combat.

Build your own approach to the climb.

Choose from three talents when you level up, developing combinations of skills and upgrades.

Collect equipment, strengthen weapons, and complete powerful rune sets. Backpack space and carrying weight make every haul a decision: take another piece of gear, or salvage it into Stardust before moving on.

Confront familiar faces

Survive the Thorn-Crowned Hag’s cauldrons, the Candle Lich’s ritual flames, the Mirror Duchess’s reflections, the Crimson Count’s bats, and the Eclipse Sovereign’s lunar powers.

Each boss has distinct mechanics to learn. Watch their attacks, find your opening, and listen for traces of the people they used to be.

Return through time. Prepare to climb again.

Defeat or retreat sends you back to a familiar beginning. Some permanent growth, Stardust, and recoverable treasures endure, helping you prepare for another attempt.

Return to Dusk Lantern Town to organize your equipment, replenish supplies, and try a different build. Progress through four difficulties, from Easy to Nightmare.

Listen for a cat in the darkness.

An elusive black cat sometimes wanders the tower. Follow it, and you may discover a doorway to hidden treasure.

Several rewards await inside. You can claim only one.

...

Light your candle. Find the way home.
