About
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 challenging, strategic roguelite with a dark, culty vibe and a sound-based threat system.
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.
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!
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.
Just make sure to be back before midnight.
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.

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.

Loving the style and feel of the game so far. After playing for a while I found myself really enjoying having to play more tactically, while greedily saving up enough coin to try out new items from the shop. Definitely looking forward to seeing the game develop further! Great job
An audiovisual trip into a dark but humoristic retrofuturistic pixelart wonderland, super skill based and addictive gameplay.
Atmosphere? 10/10 Art-style? 10/10 Arms? 8/8 This game is sick, it really only feels like I've scratched the surface of what's to come. The arcade slash-em-up gameplay loop itself keeps you wanting to try again too, just one more run. Solid entry in the rouge-lite franchise! Excited to see what else comes!
Been playing for a couple of hours and love it already. The retro vibe blends perfectly with the eerie artwork. I recommend everyone give it a go especially if you’re into roguelites! 10/10
[h1]邪神のしもべはつらいよ[/h1] [h3]レンタルビデオ時代に栄華を極めたホラー映画の愛がたっぷり詰まった高難易度ローグライトアクション。[/h3] 大いなる復活に向けてパワーを貯める邪神KAISAのため、血まみれの日々を送る「しもべ」が主人公です。 ただ、KAISAは根城にしているキッチンの下水口から出られず、眷属もまた 包丁2本を携えた小さなタコ(?)で、狩りの相手は家に住み着くネズミたちです。 [h2]夜は台所で運動会(死闘)[/h2] 数の力でネズミに押され、逃げた先で殺人ルンバに轢かれ、電撃に撃たれて絶命する「かよわい」眷属をあやつり 何とか夜明けまでに主人KAISAを満腹にさせるための肉を調達しなくてはなりません。 ノルマが足りなかったら、その時は自分が「おかわり」として絶命する定めなのです。 [h2]えっ!ここの家主、素手で触手生物握りつぶすんですか!?[/h2] しかし、一番恐ろしいのは必死に抵抗してくるネズミでも、空腹で部下をパクつくKAISAでもなく 攻撃で生じた「ノイズ」が一定以上になると現れる「家主(?)」で、 家主に見つかると体力がどれだけ残っていようとも、握りつぶされて即死します。 [strike](家主が一番のバケモノでは…?)[/strike] そのため、攻撃の手を緩めて「ノイズ」の値を下げたり、時間ギリギリであれば 見つかる覚悟で背負った肉を下水口へ投げ込みに行ったり、色んな駆け引きを駆使する必要があり、 手ごたえたっぷりの難易度となっています。 [h2]しもべたるもの、死ぬ気で余暇を楽しむべし[/h2] また、夜が終わった後の日が出ている間の自由時間は、家探しをしてお金を集めたり外に出てみたり、スローライフっぽい 緩さをかもすビジュアルでありながら、夜のフェーズ開始までに戻らなければ重いペナルティを喰らうため 必死になって自由を謳歌しては仕事場に滑り込んでいく眷属(社畜?)ムーブで、強化を狙っていく流れになります。 [strike]やることが、やることが多い…![/strike] アーリーアクセス期間中と言うことで、難易度やシステムで引っかかる部分もありますが、 少ないリソースをやりくりしてビルドを試し、屍の山を築いて攻略を見つける楽しさと 「次こそは…いや、ほんとにあと一回だから…!」とくりかえし遊びたくなる魅力があります。 レンタルビデオ店のホラーコーナーで、パッケージをドキドキしながら眺めていた方に是非。
great game
I have played for a while now and I really like it. It's fun finding out different ways of tackling the nights.
Challenging and interesting with very addictive gameplay, Awesome artstyle and BANGING music. This is a game like nothing else and a must have for rougellike enthusiasts. Highly recommended.
enjoying this game a lot. needs a little time to really get used to it, there's a lot of risk/reward strategy you gotta think about
Realy fun game and I love the art and the humor! Mostly played the demo but can´t wait to play the ful game.
