About
Horripilant is a sinister blend of incremental progression, point-and-click puzzle solving, and autobattler combat. As a battered knight with no memory, you must mine resources, craft gear, and descend through 1,000 floors of a forsaken underworld to challenge the divine.
Story
Awakening as an amnesiac knight in a decaying dungeon, you are guided only by whispering walls and a defiant, sprout-like tree. The narrative is a cryptic descent into madness, where you must interpret the moans of the damned and confront bizarre characters on a journey to kill God.
Gameplay
The game combines the addictive loop of resource gathering and gear upgrades with the tension of survival horror. Players engage in autobattler combat against grotesque foes while solving environmental puzzles in their camp to unlock new paths and 'God Boons' that fundamentally alter the game rules.
