Brightgloom: A Tale From the Herd
A downloadable game for Windows
Brightgloom depicts a world lost to a magic corruption that holds almost all life prisoner in a realm between living and dead, driving them to mindless violence. A few remain inexplicitly immune, tasked with banishing the restless spirits that come out at night in hopes of returning some semblance of peace to the land. You play as one such mare.
A round-based bullet heaven / auto-shooter I threw together in a month for Nightmare Night. It's built on the framework of Tales From the Herd, my upcoming pony life sim.
Unfortunately the rushed pace does mean Brightgloom is a bit buggy, and performance really starts to buckle when you get deep into the waves. Hope you enjoy regardless.
