Blessing in the Darkness

Blessing in the Darkness is a 2D, turn-based survival dungeon crawler where every step counts. You control a cleric on a holy quest to protect the Church and the people still living in a village, fighting through dungeons against the forces of evil.

Story

In the Middle Ages, the Black Knight rules the kingdom with an army of absolute evil, spreading chaos and darkness across the land. In this forsaken place, survival is difficult and there are many ways to die. The cleric faces the army under the eyes of Death itself, seeking to lead the light to victory.

Tactical combat

Combat is chess-like and based on requirements rather than lucky dice rolls. If you have the required resource, you can eliminate a foe and capture its tile. Across distinct stages, you face demanding paths and unique bosses.

Survival and progression

You balance your attributes and manage limited resources to survive. Divine Items, skill improvements, random ruse cards that subvert the rules, and attribute levels shape your progression. The game includes more than 30 Steam Achievements.

Keep enough light for the journey. The game saves automatically at the end of each dungeon after you defeat its boss.

Presentation

The game uses 2D pixel art inspired by classic games, with a haunting soundtrack and a reactive retro HUD.
