Champions of Shond: Echoes of Faith

Read the manual! It's down in the downloads section. Due to WebGL differences in Unity, certain sounds (like the footstep audio) are quieter. If you want to hear the sounds as they were designed, download the Windows version.

Setting

Mas and Zel, two agents in the service of Shond, were tasked with a new mission:

The town of Willowbrook has begun exhibiting strange behavior. First, undead began wandering the area, doing unknown tasks and attacking anything that got in their way. Then, demons began raiding the region, kidnapping and murdering at their own will.

While the source of the demons is unknown, the undead were spotted exiting the basement of a temple to Shond. Is this a coincidence, or has the temple to Shond been corrupted by heretical forces? It's up to the two of them to investigate the source and put a stop to it.

About

Champions of Shond: Echoes of Faith is a little dungeon crawler made by one person in two weeks for LOWREZJAM 2023, a game jam with the only restriction being an enforced 64x64 resolution (scaling is allowed). Balance is off, it's way too long, and it could use any playtesting, but that's game jams for you! It should take you around 1-3 hours to complete.

I made a manual. Read it! I also wrote a prequel novella which explores how the protagonists first met. You can also read it!

NOTE: This game was updated during the jam rating period to fix a game-breaking bug that would occur in areas that used "," for the decimal indicator in numbers.
