Vigilia de Ceniza

In the Age of Sleep, Hondavela slept. So its queen would never wake, the House of the Eyelid lit pyres... and the pyres fed on those born unable to sleep. One night the Sleeper smelled the smoke and closed her eyes forever. Since then, no one sleeps. You are one of the Sleepless: you cannot die, for to die is to sleep. Rise. DELIBERATE COMBAT • Every swing, roll and block costs stamina. Dodge at the right moment, parry with your shield and riposte. • Readable attacks: every enemy blow is announced by a flash and a sound just before it lands. Read it and you can avoid it. • Light and heavy attacks, parries, ripostes, backstabs, and light or heavy rolls depending on your equipment load. • The dead learn: enemies remember your habits and change how they fight. LINEAGE, ORIGIN AND WEAPON • Mix 5 lineages with 6 origins. Each lineage grants an edge at a price: a longer parry for less health, no burning for weaker healing... • Choose a male or female body and give your Sleepless a name. • 21 weapons, 8 shields and 9 amulets to combine: a barbarian with a dagger, an outcast with a staff. Your Sleepless, your rules. BOSSES WITH A STORY • Eleven bosses, each with an introduction, a voice and a second phase: the Barrow King awaiting a relief that never came, the Mourner who wept for every candle, the Soot-Winged who cannot let go of his torch... • The first awaits you in the Graveyard: the Precipitate of the Retort, who crawled out of the Alchemist's laboratory and is no longer him. AN INTERCONNECTED WORLD • Nine areas linked by shortcuts, hidden stairways and bonfires: graveyard, ossuary, belfry, flooded cistern, candle kiln, crypts and more. • Puzzles with visible rules, traps, Shade invasions and characters whose fate you decide. • Three endings and new cycles to start again stronger. THE ASH • When you die, your Ash stays where you fell. Return for it before you fall again. • Level up at bonfires, forge weapons, wear amulets that give and take, and strengthen your Ash Vessel to heal more often. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • On iPad, the view and the controls adapt to the size of the screen. • Optional Assistance in Accessibility: less damage taken, wider dodge windows, slower game speed, rolling without stamina or keeping part of your Ash. Achievements stay unlocked. • Touch controls designed for two thumbs (controller supported too). • A tutorial to learn the controls, three save slots and 7 languages. • No ads, no in-app purchases, fully offline. CONTENT • Optional blood and crude language, off by default. Turning them on asks you to confirm you are an adult. The Soot-Winged is an original idea and drawing by the author's son.
