Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you like it!
I’ll probably add a hi-res mode to satisfy everyone’s play style.
There already is a small camera slide when you swing a sword but I don’t want to make it stronger because I’m afraid it would make the player nauseous.

I've added a new curse mechanic to Crimson Rest. When you take damage or interact with objects, your curse bar will increase. You can lower it by killing monsters, but once the bar is full, the only way to reset it is by banishing Count Dracula. While you are cursed, monsters deal more damage!

Glad that I’ve sparked your curiosity, stay tuned for more details!

To summarize: if you take to much damage it will summon Dracula and boost all monsters in the castle until you banish the Count

The Silksong hype is real but I've been working all day on a new curse system. I'll do a demonstration in my next post, but for now here's a quick gameplay teaser. Who's playing Silksong here?
