Tenebyss

About the Game

Tenebyss is a dark fantasy roguelike inspired by the iconic Dark Souls series, Elden Ring, and fast-paced roguelikes like Risk of Rain 2 and Hades with a little touch of the PS1 era charm. It’s a solo project currently being developed by Max Emelyanov.

At its core, Tenebyss is a story-driven singleplayer roguelike focused on replayability, rich storytelling, looting, crafting, trading, and much more. Unlike most roguelikes, Tenebyss features a persistent inventory system—so even when you fail a run, the gear and items you’ve collected or crafted stay with you. This helps you feel a real sense of progression, without the frustration of starting from scratch every time.

- Flow Of Combat - 

Tenebyss delivers fast-paced movement and combat, wrapped in a world full of mystery and danger. Whether you're exploring eerie environments, battling strange creatures, or looting powerful gear, every action keeps you on your toes.

Traversal and combat go hand-in-hand—defeat enemies to gather loot that can be sold, crafted into new items, or equipped to enhance your build. The game encourages you to experiment and discover what playstyle works best for you.

Combat is flexible and built around your preferred playstyle. The game currently offers a variety of distinct weapon types to choose from(More will be added as the development continues):

Dual Swords – swift and relentless

• Greatsword – heavy, punishing strikes

• Greathammer – devastating, high-impact blows
