Perennial Order is a
2D plant horror boss rush, set in an atmospheric Dark Age world plagued by nature-infested horrors.
Explore a mysterious world alone or with a friend, uncover a story through unusual NPCs, and cut down terrifying eldritch bosses, all in a painterly 2D style.
This demo features the first three bosses in the first area of the game.It can be played single player or with two players via local co-op, or online co-op.
- Uncover a unique boss around every corner that will test you in different ways.
- Intense combat that utilizes twin stick melee controls.
- One-Hit-Death. Respawn directly at the beginning of an encounter to learn quickly from your actions; spend your time fighting rather than walking.
Captivating 2D Style
- A painterly 2D art style with a dark fantasy inspiration.
- Themes and visuals akin to the world designs of titles like Dark Souls and Princess Mononoke.
- Painstakingly crafted by 1 artist and 1 animator. We are developing the visual identity of Perennial Order through realistic, painterly techniques combined with 2D Spine animation.
