About this game
The Evil Geomancer has taken over the mountain, conjuring fiends from across the land to protect it. You have been chosen by the sacred Evertree to bravely delve inside.
You will help guide your Fox by attacking enemies, dodging their attacks, and gathering loot, all with just your mouse cursor (or keyboard if you prefer!).
As you progress, you will grow stronger. Acquiring new equipment, upgrading them, investing into a skill tree, and choosing permanent major upgrades in the form of Blessings.
Key Features:
Simple, but engaging gameplay. Click to move your Fox, or change a Setting to make it so your Fox moves to your cursor position automatically. Keyboard and Gamepad movement options are also available.
Fighting is done by proximity. The Fox gets near an enemy, they swing their weapon if they can. Combat involves deftly moving in and out of enemy range while dodging obstacles and other attacks.
Upgrade your equipment to become stronger. Choose from 1 of 6 different weapons, unlocked gradually as you play through the game.
Skill tree with meaningful progression and impactful choices.
Choose a powerful Blessing upon level up, a permanent bonus that grants you great strength.

Patch NotesOfficial
Hotfix 1.0b
I've had reports of some instances of the game crashing. I tried to reproduce these crashes but couldn't, but I've added in some safeguards against them so hopefully for anyone who is affected, it's fixed.- Fixed: Missing translations.- Fixed: Gamepad input should no longer be detected when the game is minimized or not in focus.- Fixed: Enemy hit SFX were still playing when "Mute SFX When Unfocused" was ticked.- Fixed: Coin/Essence count would visually desync in the Equipment Shop when using the Exchange NPC.- Fixed: Some tooltips would go off screen when viewing stats in the Pause menu.- Fixed: Potential, rare crash when swapping Blessings at the Blessing NPC.- Fixed: Rare crash when interacting with a chest while moving on to a new floor.Read full article on Community Announcements (The Fox Knocks)Patch NotesOfficial
Hotfix 1.0a
- Fixed: WASD movement was mapped to the actual keys, not the physical location of the keys on the keyboard, which made things tricky for non-QWERTY keyboard users.- Fixed: Some languages had text that went off-screen.Read full article on Community Announcements (The Fox Knocks)AnnouncementsOfficial
