Dark and bloody retro inspired action platformer. Slay the grim cultists, the infernal minions and twisted nightmarish creatures that roam the Haunted Lands.

Choose from 4 playable characters, each with unique abilities and playstyle: 

 the Gunners destroy enemies from safe distance;

 the Beast leaps, pounces and tears enemies apart with sharp claws;

 the Mage possesses an arsenal of versatile lightning spells.

Explore the vast areas of the Burial Grounds mission: ruins of the old crypts and tombs, crawling with evil spirits and otherworldly monsters. Fight hordes of common enemies, their buffed elite versions and several challenging bosses.

 Acquire artifacts that enhance offensive and defensive capabilities of your character. The most powerful artifacts can even entirely change some of their skills.

 Craving a challenge? Try to complete every objective and find every hidden secret; descend into the very abyss of hell and come back unscathed.

As promised earlier I've gathered some ideas about possible further development of the game and you can read it here.

If you are interested, read and tell me, what you think. As usual, feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Since the release of the browser version of the game, a lot of people have shown interest in it, for which I am greatly thankful to everyone. Thanks to the feedback, I was able to fix the bugs of the release version and improve some of its functional elements.

I was also asked to release a version for the Windows platform. Now it is available for download absolutely free, just as the browser version.The only difference between the versions is the zoom option in Windows version.

The download is available here (bottom of the page):
