Grace

Two opposing wills. One shared destiny. Who truly pulls the strings?

Grace is a hand-drawn 2D dark fantasy Metroidvania that pits two rival characters against each other across an interconnected, decaying world. Guided by conflicting convictions yet pursuing the same ultimate goal, they roam the land in search of forbidden power—and only one can prevail.

A Rivalry in Motion: Switch Sides Upon Defeat

You do not explore this labyrinth alone. As you progress, your rival traverses the world independently, hunting for the very same permanent upgrades scattered across the map.

If your paths cross and you fall in battle, the balance of power shifts instantly: you switch sides and take control of the victor. Continue your journey from a completely new vantage point, adapting to the shifts in momentum, equipment, and map control.

Key Features

• Two Distinct Combat Disciplines: Master two unique playstyles:

  • The Swordsman: Built for close-range dominance, fluid combos, agile dodges, and precise parries.

  • The Mage: Focused on devastating ranged spells, elemental crowd control, and tactical positioning.

• Dynamic World Competition: The power struggle is real—upgrades on the map are claimed in real time. Securing an artifact means denying it to your opponent, shaping the battlefield for future confrontations.

• Boss Defeats & Dual Progression: Conquering massive guardians rewards both active abilities (expanding mobility and unlocking hidden areas) and passive traits to refine your build.

• Crafting & Specialized Guild Classes: Gather materials and visit craftsmen to forge survival gear, enhance offensive stats, or brew vital consumables:

  • Tailors & Carpenters: Craft protective armor, refine physical gear, and enhance mobility equipment.

  • Alchemists: Concoct volatile elixirs, status remedies, and elemental infusions.

• Risk vs. Reward Difficulty Scaling: Claiming powerful, forbidden relics grants immense combat buffs to your character—but corrupts the surrounding world, empowering regular enemies and boss encounters to push your skills to their absolute limit.

• A Responsive, Shifting World: Your dialogue choices, allegiances, and gameplay decisions alter NPC attitudes, open alternate story paths, and ultimately determine how the kingdom perceives your journey.

• Atmospheric Hand-Drawn Art: Detailed traditional 2D animation combined with responsive controls to deliver a tight, immersive platforming and combat experience.
