What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’re using Early Access to involve players in shaping the game’s balance, difficulty, and feature set. While the core is playable, key systems and content are still evolving based on feedback, not just polish or bug fixes.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Three to six months. It will need some time to take feedback and iron out all of the issues, but I want to move on to future projects relatively quickly.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to add a few more levels and extra abilities beyond the initial release. We're also looking into some usability improvements. Balance updates are likely to happen regularly throughout Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“About half of the optional levels are implemented. The main boss fight is entirely present, but is lacking balance (particularly in phases 2-4). The ending cutscene exists in a placeholder state. About half of the extra abilities exist, but need polish and balance. The game is fully playable beginning to end.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will remain the same after early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Soliciting feedback and ideas for gameplay levels and mechanics, particularly extra abilities.”

About This Game

You Alone Can Defeat Evil is a skill-intensive action challenge built around one relentless boss fight: the Great Demon. Every death is a lesson. Every attempt brings you closer to mastery.

Step into the role of a rogue sorcerer — an outcast of the Order of Eskilon — and face a foe designed to test your patience, precision, and resolve. This is not a battle of chance, but of learning, adaptation, and execution.

Armed with forbidden magic and bound by cursed tattoos, each attempt becomes a fight for survival. Death is inevitable, but never meaningless. Every defeat unlocks new powers, reveals hidden lore, and gives you another chance to refine your strategy and overcome the impossible.

Face the Great Demon!
Enter a relentless boss fight where every move counts and only mastery will decide your fate.

Unleash Forbidden Magic!
Harness soul-twisting tattoos that grant new powers and let you forge your own combat style.

Move Like a Shadow!
Dodge, weave, and strike in a fluid movement-based combat system built for precision and speed.

Die to Grow Stronger!
Each death etches a new tattoo into your flesh, reviving you stronger, wiser, and closer to victory.

Uncover Hidden Lore!
Earn mystical lore books that reveal lost histories of Eskilon while gifting you new magical powers.

Discover Dark Secrets!
Unveil hidden mechanics and mysterious elements that extend beyond the single-player experience.

Test Your Limits!
With its punishing difficulty and skill-focused design, YACDE is crafted for players who crave a true challenge.

Can you defeat the Great Demon? Or will you be just another forgotten soul in the ruins of Eskilon?

This is not a game about victory on the first try.
It is a game about persistence, growth, and earning every inch of progress.

The Great Demon will not wait.
He will not go easy.
And he will not forgive mistakes.

But with enough skill, patience, and determination…
you alone can defeat evil.
