Lichbound: Prologue

About the Game

Prologue Notice
Welcome to Lichbound: Prologue, a free standalone slice of our game. This Prologue offers a 30-45-minute experience that introduces you to the core combat, progression, and world of Lichbound. It is not the full release—consider it an introductory taste of what could be. When you’re ready for more, don’t forget to wishlist the main adventure!

Slay the Lich

Discover the hand-drawn world of the afterlife - the Spirit Realm - and set out to free its inhabitants of the ever-spreading influence of the Lich. Slash, dash, and shoot your way through the twisting paths and halls of the Lich's domain. Defeat enemies and become stronger, then make your enemies stronger to then become even more powerful yourself. Evolve your strategies and venture forth, until you finally defeat the Lich and break his all-controlling curse.

Upgrade your enemies

You absorb the powers of your enemies as you slay them, so why not strengthen them first? By empowering the enemies as you go, you control how tough your enemies are. Take some time to learn the ropes as a new player, or go all-out and enjoy the power fantasy as a skilled player. Improving gets rewarded; feed power to your enemies and reap the rewards.

Find new synergies every time you play

Every run is different. Do you slash and dash through the rooms, or invoke earth-shattering explosions? Experiment and come up with new combinations on the fly. This game is not a deckbuilder - but it feels like one.
