About this game

A hand-painted action roguelite beneath a drowned bellfounders' city. Tamsin Vell, the Sounder, dives from the Lantern Quay on a rope her mother will not let go of, through four regions of the dreaming Mere, to ring the Great Bell that woke it. Two mechanics Hades never had: WEIGHT (be Sunk to hit hard, break shields and hold against currents, or Buoyant to float over chasms and fly; toggling is itself an attack and a parry) and THE LINE (cast your own lifeline to moor enemies and posts, trip whatever crosses it, and haul). Six weapons with three aspects each, nine patron Bells with 92 Peals including duos and legendaries, Castings, Tokens, companions, the Netting, Fathoms, a bounty board, a codex, daily tides, 135 dialogue beats across three acts and an epilogue plus 190 ambient lines gated by act, 454 voiced lines, composed music with explore/combat/boss layers, and fully animated sprites baked from hand-made models.

How to play

Keyboard/mouse: WASD to move, left click or J to attack (mouse aims), Q or K Special, Space dash, Shift switch Weight, E or right click cast and haul the Line, C companion, F talk. Touch: hold and drag on the left half to move; tap the right half to attack (hold to keep swinging) and slide up for Special, right to Dash, down for Weight, left for the Line. Gamepad supported.
