About This Game

Change is inevitable

Experience a macabre, short-form, second-person indie, you play as The Dark Queen of Mortholme, the final barrier between the Hero and the end credits.

In this fixed-screen pixel art game, use the Queen's attacks against this hero, slay them, and quell this nuisance once and for all.

But, wait. How is this possible? The Hero keeps coming back.

Multiple Endings

Depending on your dialogue choices, the story will play out differently. Will you see the Hero's point of view, or continue ruling as the Queen Everlasting?
