## What is 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.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-31

Fixes:
• Odo's quest and the third ending can no longer be lost by accident: the last Nameless Gravestone in the Quarter now lies before the fog of the Pit, and an inscription warns you to bring him all three before you beat him.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-28

Fixes:
• With a controller or keyboard, prompts now show the button to press in every language (in English and other languages they showed the word USE instead of the button).
• Corrected help texts in English, German, Italian and Russian.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-26

Improvements and rebalancing based on your feedback.
• Puzzles remember what you already solved even if you die, change areas or close the game (counterweight, Seven Candles, Three Bells).
• Buttons respond even if you press them slightly early: USE right out of a roll, or rolling just as you start drinking from the Vessel.
• No shield, no parry: you block with your weapon in both hands, and the tutorial no longer asks for it.
• New two-handed swing: the Sleepless twists their whole body with the greatsword, axe, spear or a sword without a shield.
• Balance: the Greatsword, the Mother's Oar, the Chandler's Ladle, the Hound's Fang and the Captain's Sword hit a little less hard; Kindled grants +15% health (was +30%).
• Easier-to-read enemy attacks: no wind-up is shorter than 0.40 s.
• With a controller, A confirms and B goes back in every menu, and buttons can be remapped.
• Optional combat log (Settings): it stays on your device and is only sent if you choose to send it.
• Fixes: «Continue» only appears with a real save, nothing is saved before the first bonfire, the Settings switches are easier to tell apart, and no more crashes when rotating the iPad or using Split View.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-22

Improvements based on your feedback. The intro now advances one illustration per tap, and the «Skip» button skips it entirely. Each area's exits show their destination as you approach and on the map. Enemy health bars stay visible while you fight, the tutorial instructor tells you he cannot be defeated, and your birth year is picked with a scroll wheel. Fixes: a deleted save no longer reappears when you reopen the game, and the Graveyard no longer flashes on screen before the tutorial.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-22

No release notes.
