Mock-up of the final game

Some more concept art: Link

Fight. Live. Or die. Is a published, arcade-esque button smasher, horror-survival RPG, with rogue-like elements, such as perma death; made in Unreal Engine. The goal is to survive and explore as long as you can; while earning your score. It's designed to be an easy, pick-up-and-go pixel art game, hence it was created just under two days as part of a game jam, inspired by personal, real-life events, and heavily influenced by older games, such as Diablo. If you look closer, you'll find that the only thing that this game lacks, is some love and care to bloom–from this to this–as the game is quite the bare-bones at the moment, and have a lot of room and potential for growth!
