❤ Gameplay Overview

The gameplay centers around hack-and-slash combat against waves of demonic enemies. Players take control of a skeletal 'Heavenly Keeper' and must venture through the procedurally generated depths of Hell. The focus is on score-attack, with players needing to precisely time their attacks and dodges to defeat the onslaught.

❤ Hack-and-Slash Combat

Players use a combination of melee strikes with an axe and ranged gunfire to take down the diverse enemy types. Each foe has unique attack patterns that players must learn and adapt to, making the combat challenging yet skill-based. Proper timing of attacks and evasive maneuvers is crucial to avoid taking damage.

❤ Diverse Gameplay Modes

The experience offers several distinct game modes: Hunt Modes challenge players to progress through waves of enemies, culminating in a boss battle; the Dungeon Crawl mode tasks players with navigating procedurally generated rooms to find a key and reach the final boss; the Colosseum is an endless survival mode, pitting players against increasingly difficult enemy waves; Boss Rush mode tests players' skills by having them face off against a gauntlet of the game's bosses in quick succession; Penitence Trials are challenging, limited-life scenarios designed to test mastery of the mechanics; the included card game, inspired by Triple Triad from Final Fantasy VIII, provides a strategic side activity where players collect and battle with cards obtained from enemies.

❤ Progression and Customization

As players progress, they'll unlock new playable 'Vessels' (characters), each with unique attributes and playstyles. An assortment of randomized power-ups and equippable items also appear during runs, adding unpredictability and replayability to each session. Visual customization options, such as collectable hats, allow players to further personalize their skeletal heroes.
