Kyomen
鏡面
Mask your fears, conquer the floors.
This is the original game jam prototype, It became Kyomen, a full action roguelike now in development for Steam.
The Realm That Does Not Settle
Long ago, the world shed its true forms and learned to survive by wearing faces.
Its ground remembers every battle, every step, every lie told upon it. When the weight grows too heavy, it falls away.
The Oni who stands at its centre is not a demon of ruin, but a warden of balance, a spirit bound to three masks, each one a fragment of a forgotten self.
From below rise the Kitsune, not tricksters, not beasts, but echoes of old guardians who once wore the same faces, long before they were cast down.
Survival is not victory.
It is continuation.
In This Build
Floor pattern cycles
The floor works through its own cycle of collapse patterns. Tiles flash before they fall away, so the safe ground keeps changing shape while you read it.
Cycle masks as weapons
Every mask is a weapon in its own right. Cycle between them mid fight to swap your attack, your range and the way you hold a room.
A boss at the bottom
The descent builds to a boss fight, on a floor that is still collapsing under both of you.
Endless scaling mode
Put the boss down and endless mode opens. It keeps scaling with no ceiling, for as long as you can hold on.
Combo scoring
Chain kills to hold your multiplier. Find the rhythm, push the leaderboard.
