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.
Special art style makes you immerse into the nightmare of executioner. Half sketch half real rendering a different kind of Baroque times.
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.
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.
Various attires and hats can be changed, they also have different functions. Update your outfit and catch the fashion of early 18th century.

Collect different items on the road and transfer them into valuable resource, like different kinds of bullets or herbs for example.
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.

This game feels incredibly janky which is a shame as it ticks every box for me but when you play it's just not there yet for instances the combat (the core game mechanics) feels like something isn't finished parrying and back stabs were fine but i personally found wouldn't die if you didn't a shoot it or b back stab it. and don't really think a game which is 11 pounds should faults with its main game play loop. I don't know though I may revisit this game again hopefully it's more polished then and I can change this review
Great game, especially for a game with a small dev team. Combat is kinda weird, but the story is alot deeper than what I expected. For its price, and with the enjoyment it gave me. 10/10
This game looks and sounds SO GOOD and the combat is SO BAD. Dev needs to make more stuff and get better because the art direction is on point.
