About Nepenthe
Nepenthe is a hand-drawn RPG set in the strange world of Carithia. You play as a mysterious bald man who wakes with no memory, meeting polite monsters and battling them in bullet-hell fights while confronting your own sense of self-dignity.
Explore Carithia
The game has a childish hand-drawn art style, countless side quests and three different endings. You can spare almost every monster for an added challenge, or kill them instead.
Game modes
You can choose between two modes:
- Adventure: fight through bullet-hell battles that grow increasingly difficult as the game progresses.
- Story: play easy, one-click battles, with the focus on following the story rather than gameplay.
