Dark Rerise
A downloadable game
~~Originally made for IGMC 2022; had some issues with corrupted files, pulled everything offline. Got files back, and decided to just post this one up again, because I did have fun with the mechanics. Nothing was changed from the jam version.~~
Adriel wants nothing more than to die, and STAY dead.
Following the tragic death of his partner, whenever Adriel dies, he resurrects. At the cost of another life. Friend, foe, stranger, the toll is paid by anyone other than himself.
Depressed and furious beyond thought and reason, Adriel vows vengeance on the god that has cursed him so. Joining a rather unsavory group of brigands, Adriel seeks to overthrow the god Caelus, so he may finally be free to rest with his loved one.
Dark Rerise features a curious blend of resurrection and permadeath. Resource management and strategic sacrifice will be vital as you make your way through this choose-your-adventure/RPG.
Meta checks, multiple unique endings, and of course permadeath all give replay.

this sounds exiting to see a foe dies (no friends) :D if you make
only enemies, its good to see them die ^^
but seriously, I'm gonna try the game and see how it goes, looks
interesting.
Er, yeah, of course, your friends don't die - no, no.... :3
Hope you enjoy it, Shadow haha
There seems to be a few issues, first one is at camp, trees sides are above or below,
which also cause to walk on the water next to luna.
When you try to leave, you get pushed back, but you can go there behind the tree.
When Destin died, I cannot seems to go anywhere and stuck there, but the trees
also have the same issue.
So I dont know where to go really, seems there is no transfer point.
but I like the mapping and story, which is nice as you cannot lose the battle,
not sure if I can kill the guards and let the people live at camp which I try later or
if it's fixed that they stay dead.
but I love the game so far, to bad I got stuck.
Hmm, when testing I did come across a way to mess up the movement routes in the flashback scene - happens if you go through the text too quickly - but I did put some safety nets in there. Every character in that scene has 'through' on, so they can't get stuck. Did it happen in the flashback scene itself, or in the mountain pass?
And yes, it is 100% possible to get through the game without losing any allies!
at mountain pass, where 2 bandits killed you.
I also see some dialogue starts empty as well, bu I didn't skip to fast through it.
maybe at sme points, but not exactly why.
when you returned back to live, Destin was dead, when you gain control, you stuck
on that location.
I might miss something or broke something :D (thats what I'm good at).
but if I should rate this game, I give it a 5 star =)
Who did you talk to in the mountain pass before the flashback started?
