STORY #

There once was a tale, a Persian mythos of the ancient warriors that never die.  Obedient by the Achaemenid Empire, feared by all, the  The ten thousand Immortals served their throne by their Iron Fist. It's been ages now... Decades have passed and the Immortals vanished, one by one they were plucked from their core, each leaving their godforsaken existence behind. Well... except for you. How many centuries must pass? How many lives must you Slaughter. Before you finally get your wish.. and kill the one who cursed you. Will even an Immortal find his peace? Only Time will tell.

MECHANICS #

The main mechanic of our game is The Passing Of time. As the Immortal you fight enemies using  weapons specific to the time period you are currently in. Every time you kill someone time passes. As time passes the landscape changes, enemies change, but in the end you grow tired. As different eras come around you get new and stronger weapons, but enemies get stronger and smarter as well.

PLAN FOR THE GAME #

The idea for our game is to have procedurally generated levels, because we want it to be somewat of a Rougelike, meaning every time you die you will start over. The player will have limited time to explore just like in the game Minit, but he will have to keep in mind as The Passage of Time increases, the time he has to explore decreases, until finally he starts again from scratch reactivating the curse. 

THE  GAME JAM JOURNEY #

We have made a prototype just to showcase our idea, but you will have to keep an open mind because this was in the end made in less than 48 hours. That's about it, hope you enjoy our prototype, any feedback si appreacieated, Bye.
