Hi, thanks for the lil support this game has garnered, especially since I didn't really market it at all, it means a lot!!!!

First the update:

  • fixed a hole you could fall into that'd softlock your ass in the prologue

  • updated a small section in the sewers where you run away from Greg's gang and the UNE

  • updated the Motherland Coastal town level

  • headshots deal more damages

  • Roach's Shotgun Goons in Motherland's Border run faster and got a slight design change

  • Some sounds / little things were added here and there

  • Gibs now disappear after a couple seconds, to save some performances

Now what's in the plan for this mess? Right now I need to find some time to sit down and fix some game breaking bugs like:

  • Opening the menu while interacting with a Computer breaks the game

  • Dying while a computer log's running keeps the window running forever, even in the menu

  • Sometimes there are some insane ass drop of FPS in the last few levels (Mech sections and the last Mirny level)

  • Some people get black screens during the resident evil style camera sections, but I'll admit I have 0 clue what is causing it.. That'll be the hardest one to tackle for real

Alright and now for the less yawn inducing stuff:

  • Some missing sounds/sfx because I was lazy, but I'll gradually implement them as I record/mix them

  • More enemy behavior, like hurt reactions, throwing explosives and some funny shit I could think of

  • Fill up the emptier parts of the levels (except the ones meant to be liminal and atmospheric) with cool shit

  • Maybe some extra visual novel style logs?

Ok and now what the heck do I wanna do now?:

  • As you may be aware, this game is pretty much the House (1985 film) of video games, the game's story is a rabbit hole with many missing pieces and characters lying, false events, repeat events. All of this is meant to be explored more in Chapter 2/3/4, which will all be way shorter than Chapter 1: Decay. Do not expect to get spoon fed everything though, I love David Lynch and Apocalypse Now so you'll probably get more confused because I'm a dumbass.

  • Chapter 2 is currently being rewritten. My idea so far is to design Chapter 2 in a way where some decisions leads you to either Chapter 3 or Chapter 4. The story will get more serious since working on chapter 1 really taught me a lot about writing stuff in general. You could say that Chapter 2 (3&4 too) is the actual story I wanted to tell originally with this game, but since I wasn't confident and competent enough, I decided to experiment a fuck ton during Chapter 1, but anyone who's played past the prologue probably noticed at this point haha.

Alright, don't got much more in mind, if you want to make some posters or fanarts, please do!!!! I'll plaster them around the game, on empty walls and stuff.

Thank you for playing, let's turn this awful game into an awful game with a good story !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Players:

To provide you with a better and more balanced gaming experience, the recent maintenance covered several aspects, including game balance adjustments, emote UI improvements, optimization of some map visuals, addition of character shadows, and updates to the Eastern Tower gameplay. The following are the details of this maintenance:

I. Game Combat Logic Adjustments

Some skills for certain classes have been slightly adjusted, and the data for some divine skills has also been changed. This adjustment is based on the fact that some damage-dealing classes cannot use certain skills even at level 99.

II. Emote UI Improvements

We have upgraded the in-game emote system with a dedicated UI. Exclusive emote symbols have been added, and the display position and size of emotes have been slightly adjusted to better match the overall UI tone. The game will also gradually move away from the software's built-in assets.

III. Character Shadows and Map Rendering

To enhance the three-dimensionality and realism of the game's visuals, we have added shadow effects to the characters. We have also optimized and refined the visuals of some in-game maps.

IV. Update to the Eastern Tower Puzzle Gameplay

The Eastern Tower puzzles were a major drawback in version 1.0, and as a developer, I even found them somewhat tedious. To provide players with a fresh and engaging experience, and to showcase the developers' dedication, I've replaced this puzzle with a completely new combat system.

Developer's Message:

Meticulously Crafted, Creating a High-Quality Game

This update reflects a significant investment of time and effort, aiming to deliver a richer, smoother, and more immersive gaming experience. Version 1.20 will bring even greater improvements, with comprehensive upgrades and optimizations to the graphics and lighting. I will create more detailed visuals. Furthermore, I've enriched the main storyline, and version 1.20 will also include new free DLC content, allowing players to delve deeper into the story and world.

I will continue to strive to bring players more surprises and emotions. Let's look forward to a game transformation, opening a new chapter!

Enjoy the game again!

Stage 5 has been added.

Blade of God X: Orisols - Desp

[c]The lost city of R’lyeh rises once more from the shadows of the abyss. Beneath its long-submerged domes and fractured corridors, endless treasures lie in silent slumber, waiting to be rediscovered; yet within the same darkness, lurks a terror that shatters sanity and ancient taboos born of the Old Ones.[/c]

Dear Inheritors,

In the pitch-black depths, a war of salvation and sacrifice stirred by Great Ones is quietly taking shape. The silent cataclysm can no longer be averted, steel your hearts — the abyss calls.

✦Abyssal Awakening✦

In the coral thickets deep within the ruins of R'lyeh, the girl with a starlight-woven tail kneels in silence. If one holds their breath and listens closely, they may hear her murmured, mechanical-tinged chant——or, the smothered, wrathful whispers of the Old Ones.

The Abyssal Awakening event is about to begin, two Mythic Soul Cores will be available on November 19th (Wed) at 15:00 (UTC+8) and will be added to the Wish Summon pool. Offer your Eternal Power, and you may earn the strength of The Lord of All Sharks and ■■■ ■■■■■ ■■ ■■■■■.

✦Abyssal Gate✦

"Every door beheads the mind; every altar burns the soul of reason."

Across the stars, R'lyeh’s altar network whispers through quantum veins, spreading memetic corruption to worlds two thousand light-years away. In the heart of the Divine Mirage, an anomaly takes form — a monument of madness mirroring the fabled Gate of Truth. Descend into the Seventh Sanctum, and the secrets of the lost city may yet awaken beneath your steps.


✦Quantum Black Market✦

As the city of R'lyeh resurfaces and the moon aligns with Delta Orionis, the Quantum Black Market reveals itself. Its existence lasts only 11 minutes and 32 seconds in Earth time — yet magnetic disturbances across regions may prolong its manifestation. Inheritors, the veil is thin. Step into the market while it breathes — rare treasures may await within the distortion.


✦Deep Sea Poetry Gift Box✦--Available for a Limited Time

Once woven from Cthulhu’s fallen husk and dyed with the entropy pigments of R'lyeh,
the Deep Sea Poetry was said to protect its wearer from the whispers of the Old Ones —and grant a glimpse of their forbidden might.

The legend returns. This relic, long lost to the abyss, has emerged once more... within the black market of the deep.

✦Soul Core Story✦

As the prologue to this epic-scale event, this preview not only lifts the curtain on the coming tempest of the deep, but also unveils—for the first time—the complete Soul Core story of the Lord of All Sharks.
Within those chapters long buried beneath tides and ancient memories, its power, its fury, and its fate had already begun to take shape—long before its bond with ■■■ ■■■■■ ■■ ■■■■■ was ever forged.
