KNELL

The parish is dead. The bell must be kept.

You are the last keeper of a plague-dead parish. Each night you ring the passing bell for the dead, as the office demands — but the bell has begun calling something back. Now every night is a vigil: survive from the first toll until matins, twenty minutes of dark, and everything in it wants your candle out.

What the night holds

The bell keeps time. Every minute it tolls, and every toll calls worse dead. Elites at the fifth and fifteenth; at the tenth and the last, the Tolling Ones — things the bell named directly.

Rites turned violent. Eleven weapons drawn from grave-rites and sexton's tools: the censer, the salt ring, coffin nails, holy water, a corpse-candle sent out hunting, the knell itself. Pair a rite with its matching relic and it evolves into something the parish never sanctioned.

The night changes, not just hardens. Early dead fade to chaff as new silhouettes answer. Past the fifteenth toll, the churchyard floods — walls and rings of hundreds.

Your candle is your life. Health is the Wick; damage gutters it. Souls of the slain drift as vigil lights — gather them, lay them to rest, grow stronger.

Fall, and the night still pays. Ash swept from the churchyard buys permanent restoration in the Reliquary: ten Reliquary tracks to deepen, six keepers to bring out of the dark — each holding the bell a different way — and a longer fuse for the next vigil.

Press on into the dark. Survive to dawn and you may keep walking. The endless dark compounds without mercy. Every endless run ends — how far is up to you.

A complete game at one fair price
