About this game
Demo planned for August 2026.
A story-driven dark fantasy 2D shooter with four branching endings.
The Blooming Plague is a mysterious disease that slowly transforms people into trees.
When the merchant girl Frelle becomes infected, the young lumberjack Stober sets out to find a legendary remedy hidden deep within a dangerous cave. As the plague spreads and time runs short, the two are drawn into a truth far darker than either of them imagined.
Fight your way through monsters, uncover the secrets behind the plague, and face choices that will shape the fate of both the characters and the world around them.
Features
Story-driven dark fantasy adventure
Top-down 2D shooter combat
Four unique endings based on your choices
Multiple routes that reveal different sides of the story
A short narrative experience (20–40 minutes per playthrough)
Four Endings, Four Answers
Your journey can lead to four different conclusions:
A wish fulfilled together
A future carried forward by memory
A lonely journey in pursuit of hope
A vow to move toward tomorrow
Each ending reveals a different perspective on love, loss, sacrifice, and the meaning of moving forward.
What Will Remain?
This story does not ask which choice was right.
Instead, it asks:
What remains after the choice is made?
