UC-166 The Eternal Guest - A 2D Hack-and-Slash Game

The Eternal Guest is a narrative-driven, hack-and-slash combat and exploration game where you make meaningful friendships, battle enemies, and regain lost memories as you traverse a strange, non-euclidian hotel. Use a wide array of weapons and abilities alongside the knowledge you gain from other guests to attempt to escape the bloodlust of a homicidal vampire. The Eternal Guest emphasizes 2D, top-down, melee combat in combination with ranged abilities, offering an exciting dynamic to gameplay. Our game also presents a unique spin on randomized exploration through its unique D.R.E.A.D. system, creating a sense of unease and uncertainty when exploring. This unique combat style and exploration, combined with a compelling narrative, keeps players returning not only for the story but for the gameplay as well.
