Descent into Madness

Descent into Madness: Dive into the twisted realms of Karnoxia, where the line between reality and nightmare blurs with every step. In this heart-pounding 2D rogue-like horror shooter, survival hinges on more than just your quick reflexes; your sanity is as fragile as your flesh. Trapped in a maze that reshapes itself with each playthrough, you'll face monstrous entities that challenge your physical prowess and change your perception of your environment.

As you delve deeper into Karnoxia's shadows, you'll loot and acquire gear, enhancing your ability to combat the ever-growing horror. But beware—clearing the maze is only part of the battle. Enemies grow more daunting with each layer of the labyrinth, and  the environment distorts before your eyes. You must defeat the boss inside each layer to progress to the next level. 

Key Features:

• Procedurally Generated Maze: Embark on a unique adventure every time you enter the realm of Karnoxia. The maze's layout is procedurally generated for each playthrough; navigate through shifting corridors and ever-changing landscapes, where familiarity is fleeting, and adaptation is key to survival.
• Sanity Mechanics: In Karnoxia, the greatest battle is waged within the mind. Enemies can inflict not only physical harm but also psychological, causing short, random durations of hallucinations that distort your perception of the world around you. 
• Diverse Arsenal and Character: Prepare for battle with a diverse arsenal at your disposal. Each weapon (found in chests) offers unique strategic advantages, enabling multiple combat styles to suit your approach to the game's challenges. Choose your character and armament wisely to combat the darkness of Karnoxia, leveraging each weapon's distinct capabilities to turn the tide in your favour.
• Unique Enemy/Boss Design: Karnoxia is inhabited by a nightmarish array of creatures, each uniquely designed to inspire fear and challenge. From the shadows emerge enemies with diverse behaviors and attack patterns, escalating in difficulty as you delve deeper into the maze. 

Your ultimate goal? To defeat the final boss, escape the nightmare, and uncover the truth behind Karnoxia. But be warned: in Karnoxia, your greatest enemy might be your mind. Will you emerge from the madness, or will the descent claim you?
