Nightfall Empress

Nightfall Empress is a dark fantasy action platformer about Isabel, a Nightfall Empress seeking to reclaim the life stolen from her. In the Underworld, the souls of wrongfully slain women are reborn as winged demons. The Kingdom of Dravencourt has been corrupted by a tyrant seeking immortality, a twisted religion and arcane arts corrupted by power.

An angel named Serena breaks divine law to offer Isabel the chance to become mortal again. To earn it, Isabel must ascend from the abyss and confront King Ferdinand IX, wielding her whip against a realm consumed by holiness and sin. Her journey is driven by vengeance, redemption and the struggle to reclaim her life.

Explore Dravencourt

You travel through 7 explorable stages, each with a metroidvania-style map, collectibles and environmental puzzles. Accumulate Awareness to awaken new powers and uncover hidden secrets, unlock abilities and collect Demon Crowns. A complete bestiary reveals the lore behind the creatures, and a secret epilogue, “Decursus Infernalis,” awaits those who go further.

Whip and magic

Fight hordes of enemies with fast, fluid whip combat. Isabel grows stronger through an RPG-style experience system: level up and freely assign stat points to shape her build. You can also equip two spells, chosen from a set of abilities.

The game has 8 bosses, each with a distinct challenge, and dozens of achievements. Its pixel-art stages were created by Anokolisa, its character design by GandalfHardcore, and its chiptune soundtrack was composed by Marllon Silva and HydroGene.
