Death Howl

Creator Guide:
As the demo is live on Steam, so keys are no longer needed (don't be afraid - if you cover the game we'd reward you with a full game key once ready), and because of that, we would be thrilled if, upon liking Death Howl, you could encourage your audience to try it out :) 

For an additional incentive ;), you would be receiving a bundle of games from our early series of Anomaly.

 

Game Info:

In forgotten lands shrouded by myth, Ro—a hunter from a small tribe—is overcome by grief following the death of her beloved son. Guided by voices from another world, she transcends into the realm of spirits, in hopes of bringing him back.

 

Death Howl weaves an atmospheric tale of grief, healing, and resilience. As Ro, you’ll face relentless spirits in turn-based battles that challenge your tactical sense and adaptability. To succeed, you must craft and master decks of powerful cards and use shamanic totems while unearthing forgotten tales and secrets that shape Ro’s path.

 

Master Your Deck-Building Skills

Explore the realm of spirits and gather ingredients to craft cards from each region. Discover shamanic totems to enhance your deck and cast a variety of melee and ranged spells to balance your offensive and defensive skills. Each new card lets you tailor your tactical style while preparing for your next deadly encounter.

 

Engage in Grid-Based Combat

Face a host of restless and eerie spirits in grid-based battles where each move is crucial. Test your wit by fighting unique enemy types and powerful bosses. Grow stronger, adapt your deck, and choose your battles as you explore grim lands like the Forest of Howling Shadows or Meadows of Delusion.

 

A Mother’s Grief, A Spirit’s Journey

Take part in a mother’s spiritual journey through grief, where every step uncovers a new layer of her story, reflecting themes of love, loss, and the path of acceptance. Discover a mysterious world of forgotten lore, where darkness whispers secrets and invites you to unearth buried memories.
