IMMORTAL COIL: Into the Crypt

IMMORTAL COIL: Into the Crypt

Single-player, third-person action RPG. Vampire Kai battles Nosferatu Vampires and feasts on blood orbs to get back to his Crypt.

The immortal Vampire Kai needs to get back to his crypt before sunrise, but hordes of deadly Nosferatu vampires have invaded the cemetery. Help Kai to battle the monsters and replenish his blood supply by collecting enough blood goblets and unlock the gates to the crypt.

Available for download on Windows. Support for Android and iOS is coming soon (most likely in September).

This is part of a larger series and we will release a new game every two months (see below for a preview of the next installment). Each version of the game will undergo several patch updates and level extensions, adding more loot items, more weapons, improved inventory system and new quests. You will also get the latest versions of the Immortal Coil webtoon for some background on the larger storyline. Please visit our website for more information and join us on Discord.  

Gameplay:

•  Collect 60 Blood Orbs and the Crypt will be unlocked.
•  You have 4 Minutes before the sun rises or you will be dust.
•  If you get killed by the Nosferatus, you will have to start again.

The immortal vampire Kai needs to get to his crypt before sunset. In order for the crypt to be unlocked, he has to collect at least 60 blood orbs.  

 He needs to fight off the viscously attacking Nosferatus.  

 

There are three ritual sites where you can get potions to be used to improve your health and stamina, as well as an ancient stone circle with weapon loot (coming up).

A timer will count down the time to sunrise and if you haven’t entered the crypt by then, you will be dead, and you will have to restart the level (although technically, Kai is an immortal vampire).

Once you collected the 60 blood orbs, the crypt will light up as active and you can enter into the dungeon. There you will face deadly spiders and a ferocious werewolf protecting the entrance to Kai’s sarcophagus (coming up). 

Win this last boss fight, and you can enter Kai’s crypt and let him rest (at least until the sun goes down again).

Disclaimer: 

This is my very first published game, I'm a solo dev and I would compare version 1.0 to an early access version, so be kind until everything is at a top level. This version is stable and functional and should give you about 15 minutes of atmospheric and heart-pumping game play. The first patch (V1.1) will go up with about a week. With the purchase price, you will receive all the updates below. The final version of this should give you over 1 hour (or more) of gameplay, depending on how much time you’ll spend on the quests.

Updates:

The first version is version 1.0. I will push regular updates with additional content until the second episode will be available in October. Here’s a list of what you can expect: 

Update 1.1 (Mid-September)

Bug fixes based on feedback, add inventory system, high-score and save systems.

Update 1.2 (End September)

New Dungeon level, additional enemies, improved and expanded loot system.

Update 1.3 (Early October)

New Church interior level, additional enemy, kill enemy counter.

Update 1.4 (Mid-October)

Quests and dialogue system that will give some background on Kai, additional NPCs, an additional surprise level.

For detailed patch updates, refer to our website and Discord.

System Requirements:

The game is not huge, but still works best on a gaming PC with an RTX or Radeon card. I did test it on my Lenovo laptop with a generic GPU and encountered slight frame dropping and performance issues. It played beautifully on my i7-13700K, RTX 4070 on Windows 11.

Coming Next:

The second game in the series will be called "Moorholm Calling". Kai is headed towards the cursed town of Moorholm in search of the Sword of Skjaligrim. The only weapon that can kill the wicked demon Necrocorvo. The estimated release date is set for October 2024 and here's a preview.
