About The Drain Demo

"It's tough being the servant of an Evil God"


After the sun sets and the clock strikes midnight, your task begins: you must feed your master before the first light of dawn. How hard can it possibly be to survive the night?...
THE DRAIN (Previously KAISA: Resurrection) is a brutal, strategic roguelite with a dark, culty vibe and a sound-based threat system.


Beware of the Shopkeeper.

Not all entities in the world care for your mission or existence...
Make too much noise at night and find out more about the crushing fist of the Shopkeeper.


Death & Creation

What is death really? When you are in the service of an evil God, it's not without its perks! When you die horribly it's more of an opportunity to be reassembled with new exciting body parts you found on your previous attempt.

Death is not the end, just an opportunity for self-improvement!


Daytime

During the daylight hours when you master sleeps, what you do is up to you. This is a race against the clock. Scavenge the house, acquire upgrades, and perhaps find a way to stretch your freedom from your demanding God.

Gameplay:

  • Night-Time, Feed your master in a difficult small arena battler setting. 

  • Daytime, Scavenge, Prepare and explore.

  • Unlock new weapons, body parts and upgrades.

  • Set in a world heavily inspired by 90s campy horror.

  • Beware of the noise you make.

  • Not everything is as it seems.

About us:

    Our Vision

  • THE DRAIN is meant to be a hard, this is not a straight hack and slash, it's more of a delicate stab in the dark. It’s challenging, bloody, and unforgiving, but every victory is earned.
