  • Metroidvania

A Spanish metroidvania inspired by the religious art of Seville: with the Mea Culpa sword you dodge, parry and finish foes with gory executions, spend Fervour on prayers and roam Cvstodia, an interconnected world full of bosses.

Why play it now

When you want a boss challenge for several evenings: if you're skilled and head straight through, it takes under ten hours.

Who it's for

For fans of demanding metroidvanias who want a dark world steeped in Spanish religious imagery.
