Berenice: Videogame

Berenice: Videogame is a gothic horror roguelite about Herman, a hunter trapped in the Endless Palace. He fights to survive its halls, bridges and arches, where architecture defies the laws of physics and shadows whisper thoughts that are not his. Herman searches for his long-lost beloved, Berenice, whose voice echoes through the palace.

The Endless Palace

The palace reshapes itself as you move through its procedurally endless sections, so there is no path to memorize and you can only move forward. Its three major biomes are Edinburgh, the Sunken City and the Palace Vaults, each with its own logic, mood, lore and boss. Audio also guides your way: silence can deceive, while hums offer direction, and Berenice’s voice calls from an uncertain location.

Combat and memories

You adapt your weapon build as you go, picking up and discarding weapons. Each weapon has its own durability and playstyle. Through the journal, you unlock fragments of the past, control shadows and customize Berenice’s face.

Herman’s search

Herman seeks peace, but the deeper he ventures, the more the palace becomes him. His journey explores order, fear and obsession.
