A lone revenant faces a condemned swarm beneath the Judge
Gothic bullet heaven roguelite

Case: The World.Verdict: Guilty.

Rise from the ashes and defeat the Judge before his sentence devours the last lands. Cut through a swarm of the condemned, turn the seven deadly sins into weapons, and decide whom to save, doom, or betray.

Free demo availableSingle-playerWindowsFull game: SteamOS / Linux planned

Weaponize the verdict

Turn sin into a weapon.

The court does not ask whether you are innocent. It asks what you are willing to become. Every sin is a forbidden combat language — spectacular, brutal, and never free.

Official gameplay trailer
ARTICLE I

Pride

Drown the swarm in filth, turn the rabble into squealing swine, and blow the herd apart.

ARTICLE II

Wrath

Spread fire through the crowd, then detonate every burning enemy at once.

ARTICLE III

Gluttony

Turn the fallen into food until the arena itself becomes a feast.

Keep the Oath

Hold the line.

Resist while the Tempter searches for the one argument that will make you fall.

Enter tainted

Take the bargain.

Raise Corruption for greater power — and make every mistake more dangerous.

Consequences survive death

A lie outlives the run.

Each run brings someone who can still be saved — or broken. The choice ends. Its evidence does not.

Tell the truth — or claim another's sacrifice as your own.

  1. 01

    A Guardian dies in the fire.

    Only the memory remains.

  2. 02

    A blind stonecutter asks for a face.

    Your answer becomes his truth.

  3. 03

    He carves your likeness into stone.

    The lie is given a body.

  4. 04

    Later runs pray before your image.

    Death reset the arena. Not the consequence.

The court gathers above you

13:13

Every minute, another Juror takes a seat. At 13:13, the Foreman takes the thirteenth — and the Collegium descends into the arena to carry out the sentence.

The timer is not a finish line. The court is coming.

The Architect remembers too

Your progress builds something else.

Between runs, the Architect rebuilds the Effigy — the last one who reached the Judge and lost. Every permanent upgrade restores more of its body and strength. As you grow stronger, it becomes whole.

At the final judgment, that will prove either foresight — or a very expensive mistake.

Break the sentence before there is nothing left to save.
