Commune with the old ones
A downloadable game for Windows
A lovecraftian inspired rogue-lite procedural puzzler.
An otherworldly entity visits you each night, disrupting your dreams to enforce it's teachings upon you. Fail it's test and you are woken up without any sleep, setting you back at the start of it's trial.
As you complete it's tests you gain "essence" which you can use to unlock "artefacts" that help you in the trial, while at the same time the tests increase in complexity as new mechanics are introduced.
Will you complete it's trial and finally get a restful night's sleep, or lose your mind to it's madness?

Please note: This game is still in early alpha. I plan to take it through a ton of polish before the final full free release. None of the assets are permanent.
