Dyskairos

Dyskairos is a retro-styled first-person shooter with roguelike and metroidvania influences. You climb a mysterious Tower, battle its current and former inhabitants, find weapons and abilities, and seek the source of the force holding you prisoner. The Tower’s Cycle keeps changing what lies ahead.

The Tower

You become stranded near the Tower when the Crystal that powers your travel breaks. A replacement is somewhere inside, but the Tower opposes you at every turn. You are not the first traveler to become trapped there, and you may not be the last.

The Cleansing Cycle

Entering the Tower starts its Cleansing Cycle, which reaches its climax after only a few minutes. When it does, enemies resurrect, items shift, passages may become blocked, and keys needed to progress may appear in different places. You must adapt to each Cycle, taking what you can and leaving behind what you cannot.

The Townsfolk

A mysterious group called the Townsfolk lives on the Tower’s outskirts and is also affected by its Cycles. They share part of your goal and offer shelter from the Cycle; they may even try to rescue you if you fail to escape in time. You can collect scrap to bargain for upgrades, store weapons and upgrades for future use, and pass the time in conversation with them.
