Haeretica
A downloadable Walking Coffin for Windows
In Haeretica, you awaken to the sound of your own heartbeat-drowning in the rhythmic hum of the machine that refuses to let you die. You are trapped within a parasitic suit that was meant to preserve you, but instead, it feeds. You have no map, no memory, and no mercy. You are lost in a labyrinth of gothic machinery and forgotten gods, but one sensation cuts through the haze: thirst.
As Haeretica, you must navigate this hostile world, managing the blood that both sustains you and the suit that enslaves you. The more you move, the more you bleed. The more you bleed, the faster you must feed. But with every life you drain, you risk losing yourself to the savagery of the suit.
The only way out is through.
The only way to survive is to hunt.
How much of your humanity are you willing to sacrifice for freedom?

Awesome art style 😤😍
Very fun game and awesome art direction, good job! It instantly draws you in with the fast movement and the environment is fun to explore and move through :) Love that the game is is not 100% linear but has little side rooms to find, that’s the stuff I live for
I’m pretty sensitive to motion sickness in first person games, so if there’s a single thing I’d add it would be a menu to disable some effects like the motion blur and the hands not being fully locked to the camera ^^
Most memorable part was the first enemy walking into the spikes, funny and educational at the same time :P
Good luck with further development!
Awesome game! Right now there are only two levels, of which the second one isn't finished yet. The first level shows a lot of potential though, the art looks really cool and there are some "hidden" areas where you can find new weapons, which rewards exploration. It clearly shows you early on that you need to keep your eyes open, especially if later levels will be bigger and longer.
I would personally love it if the game had a bit more momentum though. The enemies move really fast but sometimes it feels like you move a lot slower due to you not keeping any momentum. There is barely any use for dashing, jumping and sliding because it just takes away some of your speed. And to me the game vibe just screams speed. A very extreme example of a game that feels similar to me is Bloodthief. If we can get a little bit of what that game has into this one then I think we have a great game.
