Black Beacon Hill

Black Beacon Hill is a top-down bullet hell shooter in which attacks, movement and other actions launch automatically according to a script. You control only where they are aimed; there are no buttons to press or controls beyond mouse movement.

Story

The High Chamber rules Ulstania with an iron grip, but challengers are emerging within the senate and civil police force. Its war against Kostakovia has become an unwinnable slugfest, leaving scorched earth and costing countless Ulstanian lives. Communication with the front has suddenly stopped, while rumors of a rogue cyberweapon point to a greater crisis.

The Phantoms are hired operators caught between these forces: surviving veterans of the war who have nowhere else to go and earn a living doing their employers’ dirty work. They try to ignore the open secret that their arrangement cannot last. An original visual novel unfolds between and within each stage.

Stages and music

Each stage has its own original soundtrack, composed by Chris Jay.
