I made a developer breakdown for Withering Realm's four-armed combat. All footage is from the first area of the game, so it's not too spoiler-y.

I asked @moonlessformless.bsky.social some questions about his brilliant debut game #WitheringRooms, a Victorian era horror RPG set in #Wales.

With #WitheringRealms now in development, learn where the #Welsh influence comes from, the challenges he faced, and more.

Read full interview here

Diolch!

Another milestone slain! Withering Realms now gets more wishlists each day than Withering Rooms got in its first 4 months. Thank you!

#WitheringRooms is a 2024 horror RPG by @moonlessformless.bsky.social set in Monmouthshire, #Wales, between 1892 and 1916.

Countless #Welsh references exist, such as zombies that speak #Cymraeg, posters written in Welsh, and areas with Welsh names.

Clover can cast spells at any time, even while The Doll is mid swing. Here she casts a green "flash spell" which speeds up The Doll by 25% for 3 seconds - very effective on weapons with lots of fast individual hits like the Chain Dagger or Machine Gun.

Using the Chain Rock to smash open secret passages is very satisfying, but you won't always like what's on the other side.

One of the many freaky little guys in Withering Realms. His job is to sit in the middle of the pond hurling up balls of mud at you until you find your first ranged weapon.

I love how 'The Doll' is a total freak. look at that beautiful smile. we always need more games where you can play as creepazoids.
Announcing my second game, WITHERING REALMS.
It's a horror action RPG about the adventures of Clover(a ghost girl), The Doll(wood, metal, bone, flesh) and Althea(a reporter).

Chapter 3 of the Withering Rooms soundtrack is now up on YouTube, with some chill Nowhere + Horace + Grumio + Mr. Coffins footage to go along with it. This one spans a larger range of styles from Akira Yamaoka inspired to cocktail lounge to violin solos.
