Powder & Penance

POWDER & PENANCE Dusk on the Penance Road. The prison wagon taking you to the Abbey has been torn apart by wax-faced things, the guards are dead, and you are the only one left breathing. Well, you and the convict still locked in the cage. Powder & Penance is a top-down pixel-art action game about swords, black powder and candles that should have gone out long ago. Explore the orchards of Bloomhollow, the drowned graves of the Waxmire, the boiling vats of the Tallow Works and the halls of the Abbey. Take the four Seals from the things that guard them, then climb to the Nave and face the Chandler. Features Weighty melee and firearms: swords, daggers and two-handed greataxes, plus flintlocks, revolvers, blunderbusses and heavy crossbows that must be reloaded by hand Roll, block and parry through hard boss fights, each with its own entrance and a second phase Rest at shrines to refill your healing phials, but every enemy returns Die, and your Tallow stays behind in a guttered candle. Get back to it before you die again Powder kegs that blow up everything nearby, including you Shields, armour, rings and a hand-drawn map of a world full of locked doors and secret walls Controls Move: WASD Aim: Mouse Light attack / Heavy attack: Left click / F Block: Right click Roll / Sprint: Space / Shift Drink phial: Q Use item / Switch item: C / X Reload: R Interact: E Equipment / Inventory / Map / Pause: Tab / I / M / Esc Gamepads are supported.
