About this game
In this pulp-adventure roguelite, light is life. Your torch steadily burns down as you sprint through procedural, trap-laced temples in search of ancient artifacts. Doors seal behind you; survive each encounter, loot fast, and move before the darkness swallows you. Tight, readable combat works with keyboard/mouse or controller.
From a cozy hub study, chart expeditions across biomes like the Buried Temple and Flooded Catacombs. A ruthless rival force—black-ops commandos (soldiers, snipers, ninjas)—races you to the prizes, while artifact-warped creatures (twisted golems and worse) prowl the ruins. Meanwhile, a fanatical cult known as the Order of the Eclipse seeks the relics for an apocalyptic ritual.
Core Features
Torch = Health. Your torch drains over time; refuel or die. Managing radius, pathing, and timing is the heart of every run.
Room-by-room combat. Enter a chamber, doors lock, defeat enemies, grab loot, move on—focused, readable encounters.
Procedural temples. Each temple layouts, hazards, and enemy compositions changes for fresh routing and tension.
Meaningful upgrades. Between rooms/bosses, pick build-defining cards (gun mods, torch perks, mobility, defense, elements) with smart tagging so choices fit your current weapon.
Boss arenas with clear reads. Set-piece fights emphasize positioning, line-of-sight, and pattern mastery.

Entries unlock as you encounter new things—gentle tutorials on mechanics, what's happening in your run, and subtle lore hints without overwhelming you.Shop & black market tweaks—more meaningful choices.🔹 Under the Hood: Heavy refactoring on enemy spawns and systems to keep everything stable and set up for faster future updates.The demo is my main focus right now—aiming to make it as polished as possible before sharing.
