[NOTE (JUNE 9TH, 2025): THIS PAGE IS SEVERAL YEARS OLD. THIS GAME IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT, BUT ALMOST NONE OF THIS IS ACCURATE ANYMORE. i'm leaving it up for posterity, but please be aware that what eventually comes out in several years' time will be *nothing* like what's shown on this page.]

Absolution is a story-focused post-apocalyptic bullet hell action RPG. The game takes a common theme, the idea of a journey across a magical kingdom, and modernises it into a form that is new and refreshing.

You play as the powerful magician Katsu, and along with your gang of adventurers, you will forge bonds, journey across the lands to take back the throne, and learn the truth of what really happened on the day the world was destroyed.

Can you come to terms with the truth before you reach checkmate?

Move along, nothing to see here

Hey look I fixed it

Buggy dialogue with undertale font

I'm thinking more and more each day that I want to turn this game into a normal danmaku shooter. The issue with that is that I don't. That would probably be some kind of sequel to Absolution

Known issue with the current build: Attack indicator comes in too early sometimes. I'm working to fix that

Also, new game build. It adds a couple of small things (like that attack indicator), but it's mostly the same

Added an attack indicator! It's a wide sprite that moves in and out of view every time there's a new attack. It has text on it with the name of the boss and the name of the attack, in true bullet-hell fashion

Remember that attack I showed yesterday? Well, I reworked it so that instead of firing a bullet towards you and having that bullet fire more projectiles, the boss just acts as the bullet and charges towards you spawning projectiles

Your bomb now slowly (and I mean very slowly) refills when you aren't using it! (The update that does this is not out yet)

I know it's been a while, my overworld system was bad... but hey I have a new attack to show you, for a different boss! It fires bullets towards you, leaving more bullets in its path.
