Blessed Burden

Blessed Burden is a platforming game in which you play as the last priest, descending into the depths to destroy the essence of evil. Satan sits on God's throne, but hope for salvation remains as long as one warrior of God still breathes. Your path takes you through traps, lava and fear as you investigate the lore of the devil's abode and collect infernal relics.

Descend through the levels

The game has 10 levels, ranging from mushroom caves to brutalist megastructures. You can approach them quickly and aggressively or take a slower, steadier pace, using your platforming skills to navigate the hazards. Along the way, you slide on colossal roots and ride giant snakes. A first playthrough takes about 1.5 hours.

Upgrade your movement

You spend Bless Points to upgrade movement skills. You earn Bless Points by completing levels and collecting full relics.

Compete for speed

Leaderboards let you compare level completion times with friends and other players.

World and atmosphere

Blessed Burden combines a horror-infused religious atmosphere with deconstructivist, brutalist and infernal architecture. Its retro visuals have a modern flair, and its soundtrack fuses church choirs, ritual percussion and industrial sound. The devil delivers suspenseful monologues.
