Blackfaun

Blackfaun is a fast-paced roguelike with RPG elements, built around challenging, skill-based combat and replayable runs. You play as Eri, a faun sent on a mysterious quest by her parents. As heir to the crown, she must complete her trial before claiming the throne, and journeys through randomly generated dungeons on a search for truth and self-discovery.

Eri’s quest

Eri travels with her birth-rune, Lex, and encounters Pan, her long-estranged brother. Though she initially dismisses him, she and Lex begin to question his intentions as they try to make sense of his riddles. The story unfolds through the perspectives of Eri and Pan, revealing their relationship and the events surrounding their journey.

Dungeons and combat

Each run takes you through changing dungeon layouts and harsh environments, including goblin forests, haunted temples, dank sewers and decadent palaces. Enemies and bosses use tactics and abilities that exploit your weaknesses; the game features 40 unique enemies and bosses, with different foes appearing in different environments.

You dodge projectiles and melee attacks, push enemies out of your path, turn ethereal and use spell effects to survive. The focus is on player skill rather than time spent grinding toward higher levels.

Items and equipment

You find gear hidden throughout the environments and guarded by powerful bosses. Items offer over 100 mechanics and thousands of additional stat variations, so you balance powerful stats against special abilities when managing your inventory. Fallen enemies can also leave consumables that replenish your resources.

Story and soundtrack

Eri’s journey is accompanied by an original soundtrack. The dungeons feature vibrant colors and clean character designs.
