A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

The sun went out. A Tower appeared. Every floor is a dead world, and every boss was its last hero.

FREE DEMO · IN DEVELOPMENT

  • The Prologue: how everything began, told as a fully voiced comic
  • Floor 0, The Threshold: learn to deflect, jump and strike (it shows how game looks at beginning)
  • Floor 1, The Burning Gate: face the Ashen Oni, Last Blade of Akane
  • A second Warden waits above. Beat the Oni to find out who.

The full game will climb 10+ floors, each with a new Warden, a new world and a new way to fight. Sunfall is in active development, so anything in this demo can still change, and your feedback decides a lot of it.

HOW IT PLAYS

Sunfall is a 2D boss rush built on Sekiro-style deflect and posture combat. You don't roll away from every blow; you meet it. Every well-timed deflect cracks the boss's posture. Break it, and land the deathblow.

  • Deflect, don't roll. Tap guard just before a hit lands. Holding guard keeps you safe, but fills your own posture.
  • Read the red. Perilous attacks can't be blocked: jump the sweeps, dodge the grabs.
  • Bosses read you back. Heal in their face, hide behind your guard or mash attack, and they answer.
  • Every Warden is different: its own moves, rhythm, arena, music and voice.
  • A story told in voiced comics, with Memories you unlock as you climb.
  • Three difficulties. Easy and Normal to learn the fight, Hard as designed. Bosses keep the same moves on every level, so what you learn always counts.

HOW IT'S MADE

Sunfall is made by one developer in Godot. I direct and design the game: the combat, the bosses, the difficulty and the story. It is built with AI tools: the character art and comic panels come from an image model; the voices, music and sound effects from ElevenLabs; and the code is written with an AI coding assistant. I edit, animate and assemble everything, and test and tune every fight.
