About this game
May You Be Fit to Repent Your Sins
Oh, poor knight, seek repentance for your vile past! Venture into the cursed village of Parsici and free it from its hellish beasts. Come to terms with the unspeakable in this unique adventure-action side-scroller combining metroidvania and souls-like elements with a heavy metaphysical narrative emphasis. A sunken world is found beyond the mountains: it is made of the very matter of darkness and it awaits you to unravel its hidden principles.
Find Your Purpose in the Cursed Realm
How do you fit in this world? Explore putrid marshlands, nightmare forests, forgotten dungeons, forbidden caves and the village of Parsici itself. There you will meet many people - friends, sometimes foes; humans and otherworldly creatures. What is your role in this new world? Be careful: the land is cracking as it unfolds before your armor, holding immense secrets. You shall not reveal them, lest you anger the High Maker.
In Sylva - Curse of the Demoon Woods:
Explore the diverse, interconnected areas of the country of Parsici, including the village and the surrounding wastelands.
Meet mysterious and quirky NPCs, each with its own unique motives and personality.
Defeat a gauntlet of powerful, mystifying arcane bosses.
Discover the unspoken truths of the world you have been plunged into.
Unfold the knight's fate in three different endings.
Collect many different items and collectables, as a true collector of memorabilia.
Shape your own path in the interwoven realm of Parsici and delve into its secret history.
Learn the art of angling and catch the ultimate fish!
