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 Horror Action-RPG, you will use various skill to survive, beat your enemy and explore forward.

It's a solo-make indie game.

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)

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.

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 more close to survival horror 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

Various attires and hats can be changed, they also have different functions. Update your outfit and catch the fashion of early 18th century.

Item transfer 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.
