Gloamvault
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
"Ah... yes, it worked. I can see the spark of life in your eyes, twisted and seething as it once did. It has been centuries since your wretched soul tasted air, Dark One. They cursed your name, burned your effigies, sealed your crypt with wards of purest light - but even the brightest flame wanes with time. And here you are, risen once more, your legend but a shadow in the minds of mortals."

Status
This game was a challenge to see how far I could develop it within approximately three weeks of working on it after my day job. My goal was to keep the scope small and focus on a limited set of features defined as the MVP (Minimum Viable Product). I started building it on November 1, 2024, and reached the MVP milestone on November 19, 2024—about 19 days later.
From the 19th to the 23rd, I invested some additional time into polishing the game some more.
