WickFall

Something down there keeps blowing the candles out.

WICKFALL is a compact souls-like roguelike about descending through a buried graveyard one floor at a time. Roll through what you can't block, block what you can't outrun, and rest at the lanterns — knowing that every time you do, the dead get back up with you.

Four depths, each with its own dead

• The Pumpkin Patch — orchard rows gone to rot, lit orange.
• The Boneyard — headstones in ranks. Violet light. Colder.
• The Rotting Chapel — consecrated ground that stopped working.
• The Hollow Court — the keep this all used to be, lit blue and wrong.

What you do

• Light attacks, heavy attacks, blocks, parries and rolls — all on a stamina budget
• Lock on and circle. Every enemy has a tell, and you only need to learn it once
• Find the seal key, break the gate, kill whatever was behind it, take the stairs
• Rest at a lantern to refill and set your respawn. It also resurrects the floor
• Die and you drop your souls where you fell — run back for them, or lose them for good
• Loot, equip, level up, and spend Wax at the merchant between depths

Every floor is generated fresh, so the layout is never the answer — the fight is.

Runs in your browser. Takes about 20 minutes to lose the first time.
