About this game
Story
You’re exhausted.
Jane is stuck in a city that feeds on her doubts, fears, and unresolved grief.
By night, she fights monsters born from her own shadow.
By day, she barely holds herself together.
This is not a story about saving the world.
It’s about surviving yourself — and what happens when you fail to.
Gameplay
SLASH YOUR WAY through an interconnected city
Save your progress in Photobooths.
Heal through Streetlamps and a rechargeable Lighter that rewards aggression.
When you die, you leave everything behind.
To get it back, you must face your Shadow — a version of you that fights exactly like you do.
Balance two currencies:
Happiness — spendable, fragile, easily lost
Misery — earned through risk, used for growth
Choose how much you’re willing to suffer to become stronger.
Two modes shape the experience:
Nightmare — intended, punishing, and rewarding
Daydream — forgiving systems with the same combat challenge
Block, parry, kick, and break the enemy's poise.
Unlock shortcuts.

First ever update^^~
The Academic bossfight is now complete with 6 unique attacks and well-tuned AI Enemy AI was retuned to have larger windows in between attacks to make combat with them more predictable and manageable at large numbers Added ending screen for the current version Future of the project I'm very sad with how I had to launch this release - I don't make enough wishlists, and doing as many releases in short time windows seems to be the only thing working for me. However, I'm incredibly serious about this project in particular, and I hope that the quality of this Boss will show that! I'm aiming at having a story with multiple social links and cutscenes at the expense of the usual roguelike mode that was in the first GwenBlade and GwenBlade Halloween So, GwenBlade Witcheresque is aiming at being a very story-heavy game with deep lore, which I hope you will love The next update will cut deep into that and will be in this month^^ Stay tuned!Read full article on Community Announcements (Floky_09)
