The game’s focuses on building a sense of unease and dread. The artstyle is inspired by retro games, displayed only in black and white accompanied by a haunting chiptune soundtrack. While you won’t run into any jump scares, it concentrates on unnerving terrors and impending doom. The retro throwback title is set to be a “hellish roguelite” with turn-based combat, set in a world where the Old Gods are returning to the world.

Now that’s some commitment.
