Steel Coven: Witch Hunter

This game is an entry in the 2023 Epic Mega Game Jam, with the theme 'Antiquated Future'.

In the year of our Lord 2642, humanity has evolved technologically to the point where the line between technology and magic has been blurred - and at great cost to civilization. This 'techno-magick' has ushered in a new dark age, and the ways of a bygone era have returned. Though this new world may be without kings and kingdoms, there remains a dominant force - an organization known as the "Steel Coven." This mysterious group wields the most advanced knowledge of the inner workings of techno-magick, and has harnessed its power to create a coven of cybernetic witches to do their dark bidding and keep humanity shackled under their pseudo-rule.

Such as with all imbalances of power, a small yet heroic group known simply as the Witch Hunters Guild has formed. Sworn to protect humanity from the Steel Coven's dark ambitions, they aim to restore civilization by taking down the Steel Coven and eradicating the earth of techno-magick altogether.

Take on the role of Lucius Nightshade, an adept member of the Witch Hunters Guild, and infiltrate the lair of the Steel Coven. With an arsenal of techno-magick-imbued weapons at your disposal, you must fight fire with fire and take on the witches of the Steel Coven. But beware, this is no small task. In addition to the witches of the Steel Coven and their minions, you will also encounter other deadly threats such as traps.

Your primary weapon. Voidcaster is a powerful and reliable crossbow. Imbued with techno-magick that unleashes devastating stopping power against anything that gets in its way. Shoot first, ask questions later.

Even the most skilled ranged user needs a good melee to fall back on. Witchbane may not pack as much punch as the Voidcaster, but what it lacks in damage it makes up for in its ability to deflect small amounts of incoming techno-magick through the use of an in-built shield energy system.  Note: This ability is currently not implemented - sorry!
