Pact Warden is a retro style action-adventure game inspired by games on the original Game Boy. It features top-down exploration and combat as well as side view platforming and combat. It also includes dynamic characters, with their own narratives that intertwine with your journey.

Boss Fights

Find dungeons and depths which lead to multi-phased boss fights, featuring top-down and side combat.

Exploration

The world is a mystery with new lore revealed through exploration. Explore the world to find new environments, new characters, and new mechanics.

Choices Matter

Dialogue with characters will often involve binary choices along the conversation. These choices will impact the character moving forward, changing their fate as well as their disposition towards you. It's important to be mindful of how a choice will alter a character's life, as their life is important to your survival.

Relationships Affect Gameplay

When you are defeated in combat, many nearby characters will attempt to save you. Whether or not a character can save you will, sometimes, depend on whether or not you have helped them. If no character can save you, then you will have to restart the game.

Combat

Combat is very simple, but the environment will sometimes complicate things. For instance, an enemy's attack might ignite a brazier and you can then attack that brazier to throw fire back at the enemy.
