A downloadable game for Windows


Embark on an epic journey through the ever-changing landscapes of "Canticle," a top-down, twin-stick shooter roguelike that blends heart-pounding action with a mysterious and enchanting world. Navigate through procedurally generated dungeons and vast, unpredictable terrains where danger lurks around every corner.

Canticle is still very early in development, but so far there is a procedurally generated world, a bunch of creatures and some weapons to mow them down, as well as some proof of concept dungeons, bosses, loot, and highly elaborate lore.

Consider what is available now to be a prototype/demo.
