About This Game

About

It's a story about a frustrated executioner in late 17th century. He felt sick at his job and ran away from the gallows. It aroused a riot of monsters, he had to clean up this cruel mess, and find out the truth about the "Gloomy Oil" of this crazy world.

It's a Retro PS2 style Dark Fantasy Action-RPG, you will use various skill to knock down your enemies to explore forward.

Inspired by the Book : The Hangman of Paris by Claude Cueni, and the Paintings of Zdzisław Beksiński. (But it's a story nothing about any Sanson family)

About the Control

Strongly recommended to use gamepad such as Xbox controler or PS DualShock. Keyboard players can also use Arrow Keys to control the camera, it should be better than mouse, mouse control is still under improving. If you have to use mouse, please trigger the "Use mouse" option at "Config" menu.

(It's a retro PS2 style, slow action battle system for the survival mechanic and for crafting a better atmosphere, not a "quick-action game". Please notice before purchasing.)

Unique art style

Special art style makes you immerse into the nightmare of executioner. Half sketch half real rendering a different kind of Baroque times.

Different battle system

This battle machanic encourages you to make critical STAB, back STAB, and keep PARRY to make the EXECUTION HIT, and use your gun properly,  far rather than fighting directly with normal melee attack.

Attire system

Various attires and hats can be changed, they also have different functions. Update your outfit and catch the fashion of early 18th century.

Item transfer system

Item Craft System.

Collect different items on the road and transfer them into valuable resource, like different kinds of bullets or herbs for example.

Multi-Endings

More than 4 defferent endings. The first time playing takes about 5-10 hours. If you trigger some special endings, it would be much shorter or much longer.
