Pilgrim Unto Shadow

The Story

Explore Elphanis, an ancient city consumed by an unrelenting night where ancient eyes emerge from creeping shadow. This holy place has been consumed by darkness, becoming infested with monsters and twisted by dark magic. You are the last pilgrim that will ever arrive in this place, and it falls to you to explore its corrupted streets, discover a path forward, and find your ultimate goal: the Sanctified Heart.

Along your journey, you'll meet various NPCs, each with their own story, their own struggles, and their own fate. How you interact with them will determine not only their ending, but yours as well. Every choice matters in finding your end.

Meet Some of the Wanderers You'll Encounter

Exploration

The city of Elphanis is yours to explore, but not all paths are open from the start. As you venture deeper into the darkness, you'll discover different routes and secrets, some locked behind items you'll need to find. Every corner of this corrupted city holds something, be it treasure, danger, or knowledge.

Spells

Throughout your exploration, you'll uncover many spells hidden in the shadows of Elphanis. You can cast any spell in the game as long as you know it and have enough Favor, a resource you gain by exploring and interacting with the world. Use these spells to overcome obstacles, unlock new paths, and survive encounters with the darkness.

Gear

Find different weapons and armor scattered throughout the city. Each piece of equipment changes how you approach combat and exploration, letting you customize your pilgrim's journey through the shadow.

Combat

Pilgrim Unto Shadow features 0D action combat, a unique system where positioning doesn't matter, but timing and direction do. You'll dodge enemy attacks by responding in the correct direction relative to where their attack is coming from. After successfully dodging, you'll find openings to strike back.

Your arsenal includes weapon attacks and spells. Weapon attacks can be quick light strikes or powerful charged attacks. Spells are cast using Favor and require directional combinations to execute. You can cast any spell you know as long as you have enough Favor. Weave together spells, attacks, and dodges to create your own combat style and overcome any obstacle in your path.
