About this game
In Burdenfall, a weeping god towers above all. Its eternal tears flow through time and space, carrying the memories of every soul. Here, age is not counted in years but in remembrance. Those who forget are bound to remain as children forever.
Find the Weeping Crown and uncover its hidden message. A new part of the sentence is revealed after each completed run.
Face a roguelike progression through a series of elevators, each floor bringing new challenges and rewards.
Explore the floors like a side-scroller game and choose your path, discover hidden places and meet the tower’s inhabitants.
During your journey, you will be joined by a little friend.
Infuse your Food with unique Aftertastes and gain new special abilities.
Each Aftertaste infusion unlocks new strategies to master which will shape the way you build your deck during the climb. Feed your companion the infused food to shapeshift them into new forms with powerful persistent abilities and play special commanding cards to tight the strategy together.
