Description
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 Survival Horror Action-RPG, you will use various skill to survive, beat your enemy and 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
Recommended to use gamepad such as Xbox controler or PS DualShock. Keyboard players can also use Arrow Keys to control the camera. If using 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.
Small Tips
The vibe and story-telling look quite souls-like, but actually the game mechanics is very different. It's a survival horror game and you don't need to collect souls to level up. What you need to do is to survive by any means necessary, and explore forward.
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, not encourage to fight directly with normal melee attack.
Attire system

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.
