The Blessed Ones

We have updated the game with final content update. We are focusing now on final touches, mostly bugfixes if we will manage to fix any.

You play as the controller for a secret organization, trying to help them get rid of blessed shadows in an abandoned villa. Your goal is to get rid of the blessed ones in the area. Merge cards, interact with environment and free the villa from Henry, The Good Boy!

If you find any bugs, we encourage you to report them to us in community post.

We have 2 interpretations when it somes to shadows - first we took it quite literally, where the enemies are affected by the light. Basically, all light sources kill enemies. Our seconds interpretation was that someone was controlling the game from the background - we have implemented this as a lore element - you are the controller, moving the lightbringer (main character) around the map and affecting the map in real time by using cards from your current hand.

The interpretation for alchemy was simpler - when thinking about alchemy, we thought about the usual potion crafting. But, considering our card system, we implemented a way to merge those cards in order to allow more interactions with the environment.

The standard deck of cards includes only the basic cards - FIRE, WATER, CANDLE and ELECTRICITY. In addition to those cards, you can create from them STEAM card and CANDLE LIT card.

Additionaly, you can craft more cards that help you with survival:

• ESSENCE - destroys spawners
• CULT MARK - destroys cultists
• BEAST HEAD - a surprise ;)

You can use these cards to interact with the environment. In the level you can find steam engine, lanterns, furnace and cabins. We will let you figure out how these cards interact with the environment through tutorial to avoid spoilers :D
