Hi! I'm BlisSpectre and I'm making my first game, a dark fantasy narrative turn based dungeon crawler. Now that the demo is almost complete I wanted to share  more about the progress of The Eldritch Ascent.

 SYNOPSIS

In a world consumed by the Dark Fall, a cataclysmic event that unleashed towering spires of corruption and legions of twisted horrors, you are Eldritch—a fallen warrior reborn in the cursed depths of the tower. Bound by fragmented memories and an uneasy alliance with a mysterious demon, your quest is clear: ascend the tower, face its endless monsters, and confront the malevolent force behind this.
