[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?

Chapter progression in Absolution:

Chapter 1-5: One boss each, at the end of each chapter.

Chapter 6: Two bosses, both at the end of the chapter.

Chapter 7: A starting area with a few enemies, and two boss fights that make up the majority of the chapter.

The bosses in this game are going to be based on my friends IRL, excluding three bosses that are original characters. In fact, most characters in general are based on my friends. That's definitely not at all because I am unoriginal

Removed the download, since the uploaded current version of Absolution is literally just a tech demo.

Also, I've been having so many ideas for this game, and I'm still limited by the fact that I can't draw pixel art.

How am I going to make shots home in when I add smaller enemies and therefore have multiple enemies in a room, you ask?

Good question. I'll answer that when I work it out myself

So if battles happen in the overworld, how do you dodge anything while shooting?

All shots now home into enemies. I had an idea to use the player's cursor but that was cringe and bad and so I didn't do it.

I also modified the player. The player's hitbox is now a different object to the player. Spawning the hitbox without the player crashes the game so I guess don't do that. Also if the hitbox doesn't spawn then you're invincible but that can't happen anyway

Battles now happen in the overworld, not in a special battle room, which means I had to rework the system. Took me a while, but I have ironed out most of the bugs.

The current uploaded version of the game is really old. It's totally different now to what it used to be. But hey, that's the process of development right?

A month ago, I said I was changing the battle system. Then I didn't do anything about it. I started working on it again today though. This is really a project I work on sometimes when I feel like it, not some huge thing that needs to be done

Also, I'm dropping the Kyoujin title. I figure it's not necessary. The game is just going to be called Absolution now.
