Vesperfall

Vesperfall begins in Vesper Hollow, the pilgrims' camp, where tents huddle in the dark around a single crackling campfire. Your first task is simple: find Sexton Aldous by the fire and hear what he has to say. Lantern-bearing pilgrims keep watch nearby, while something with cold blue eyes lingers at the edge of the light.

Beyond the camp looms the shadowed stonework of a great cathedral, flanked by burning braziers. The journey leads beneath it, to the drowned depths below, where you will aid the living and the dead alike and set out to silence the Unlit King before the last candle gutters out.

You carry a staff crowned with violet light, and tallow is the currency you gather along the way, tracked right at the top of the screen. A clear objective tracker keeps your path in view as you explore.

Rendered in moody top-down pixel art, with warm firelight glowing against deep purple night and drifting embers, Vesperfall is a gothic action adventure for players who like their quests dark, quiet, and lit by candle flame.
