A Tale of Faith, Duty, and Sacrifice

In Penance: Knightfall, players step into the role of Cain, the youngest knight of his order, as the divine order collapses. When the Trinity vanishes and the gates of Hell stand unguarded, demonic forces overrun the mortal realm. Amidst this chaos, a rising Vampire Lord carves out his own dominion, leaving Cain to confront hard choices about faith, loyalty, and survival.

With history and mythology woven together, the game explores existential questions through a dark, atmospheric setting, all brought to life with evocative pixel art.

Combat That Rewards Strategy

Unlike traditional turn-based RPGs, Penance: Knightfall introduces:

Action Point Freedom – Spend your turn on movement, attacks, or combos, with no wasted actions.

Environmental Combat – Use terrain to your advantage knock foes off cliffs or control choke points.

Combo-Based Melee System – String attacks together for fast, cinematic combat encounters.

Ranged Precision & AoE Magic – Positioning and timing make every battle feel unique.

Every fight becomes a tactical puzzle where player choices truly matter.
