About this game
Play as a mercenary hired on Halloween to kill the Devil!
A 2D Roguelike shooter game where you MUST kill monsters to stay alive!
Can you overcome the haunted mansion and complete your mission in a few Deadly Seconds?
Play as the Red Merc and enter the haunted mansion to stop the Devil's ritual. But don't let the Deadly Seconds reach zero or the Grim Reaper will get you!
Throughout your mission there will be multiple weapons and items which can be used to deal with enemies and environmental pieces in different ways. Furthermore all weapons and items have side effects based on their colors, which can grant you an even bigger advantage if used correctly.
Due to your unfortunate circumstances, you'll have to kill monsters in order to stay alive and complete your mission.
Alongside that, finishing off monsters with style will give you more points than they're worth!
Go through various randomly selected rooms with a handcrafted layout and NO way back!
If you feel creative, edit the rooms and create new ones for your own entertainment!
Set highscores and get the best ranks on every run!
Your points turn into MONEY which can be used at the shop to buy upgrades for future runs.
Finish your mission with the fastest and most efficient scores to get that sweet S rank!

Roadmap (21/7/2026)
Hello there!It's been a while, but now things will start picking up the pace again.To start off with some good news, I present to you THE ROADMAP!Before releasing a demo or an early access, I'd like to make sure you guys get the basic idea for the game and what it looks like at it's core.This is the public to-do list that's valid for the next 90 days or so (October 19th). After that period, I'll update the list if it changed too much.DevelopmentTo fix certain bugs related to save scumming and to organize things, the save structure was redone.In theory, there should be no more bugs related to reloading saves, given they're now ACTUAL separate files.Most recently, a new screen has been added to let players pick the game's language at the start.This was added thanks to the feedback given at the events!In the next devlog, I'll showcase the new rooms!Read full article on Community Announcements (Fox gamerPT)Community & EventsOfficial

Shop under renovations and more...
HELLO THERE VIDEOGAMERS!In these past few weeks, I fixed multiple issues in the game. Most of these are harder to show than to feel, but here's a video showcasing the most noticeable fixes:A consistent criticism that has been given, was the fact that it's hard to notice when players take damage or when they're low on HP.The new UI will hopefully signal better to players when this happens, but it is yet to be tested.New shop and textfont!After MANY design issues and bugs with the upgrade system, I decided it would be best to just remake the shop altogether.This is THE biggest fix made after Uchuu Matsuri, and it's the one I'm most curious to see how players will deal with.Alongside that, I made a custom textfont to display the amo UI with stylized numbers.This was later expanded into a general-use textfont, which will allow me to add as many characters as I want, since the game has a translation editor. I'd like to thank everybody who played the game at Lisbon Games Week, Tomar Game Fest and Uchuu Matsuri. These changes are made based on YOUR feedback and experiences!Read full article on Community Announcements (Fox gamerPT)AnnouncementsOfficial
