About this game

Game Features:
- A unique combat system - unconventional movement that rewards precise aiming and mastery over strategy, patience, and quick thinking.
- KO enemies with melee attacks, stomp them for ammunition, use that newfound ammo to shred through enemies with a variety of interesting bullet types.
- Switch between Demon and Angel mode for unique additions to combat and exploration.
- A short but sweet horror adventure through the depths of an apocalyptic wasteland.
- Monstrous Boss Battles to test your limits, barely scrape through with your limbs still attached… hopefully.
- Explore a vile and beautiful interconnected world.

Story:
The Brothers Heathcliff and Locke invent a weapon of mass destruction, The Gear. This mechanical disease devours matter, digesting said matter into more of itself. I.E. It is a self replicating machine that uses every living and nonliving thing as a fuel source.

A universe is eaten in it’s entirety.
In a desperate gambit for more fuel, The Gear invades another dimension, The Godhead.
You are a Soldier, unwillingly drafted into a horrible conflict. At the height of battle, a monster is born from the moon. The Gear is unleashed in the Godhead, and now it’s on you to fix it.
- Untangle the Web of how The Gear came to be.
- Meet ghoulishly endearing characters who will help you on your journey.
- Grow closer with them through sidequests.
- End the nightmare of The Gear, once and for all!

Controller Map for Joy-to-Key/ Input Mapper Programs
Hey guys, here's a temporary solution to getting the controls working properly. Using big picture mode to manually bind the keys, or using a third party app to port the keyboard controls to your gamepad, you can get working controller support. I understand how frustrating this issue is, trust me, it's a pain in the ass for me too! My controller works perfect, and I don't really have other devices to test, so I'm just doing what I can to try and fix this. Pixel Game Maker's controller support is rather weak. Trying my best to figure it out, but, like all these issues, they seem to work on my machine but break things for other people. So bear with me! In the mean time, here are some charts that can help with input mapping.

Bug Fixing #3
Gentlemen, I have added a 'pause' screen that allows you to pause, exit the game, view controls, and change volume. Hope that helps for some people who took issue with that! Including this, proper Thumbstick movement, and tons of bug fixes. Yesterday, the update that went out included more bug fixes, and C++ Redist packages. I'd like to thank Abstract the Origin and Baz on the PGMMV Discord for their help in fixing these issues. I've also been told this about Controller support, hope it helps! "A thing I'd suggest to try since Steam officially supports the DS4 controller, launch Big Picture mode and then go to controller configuration in the option menu. Plug your DS4 controller and configure it there. Then launch DDIV through big picture mode, set up the default button assignment and then it should be working without Xpadder or any of that other crap." I've fixed the bulk of the issues that have come my way for the moment, so I will continue to fix stuff as it comes along. List of things that were fixed in yesterday's update (in the unpublished Bug fixing #2 post) -Meat Hook Softlock -Charlie Softlock -Id Mode Cape being leftover during certain cutscenes -Transition Issues where you get stuck in Tiles -Deus Vain Assets repeating on reentry to the boss room -Improved Crouch Shooting Mechanics Until next time!Read full article on Community Announcements (scumhead)
