Check out today&rsquo;s <a href=\"https://youtu.be/oL0gGdy_9bY\"><u>launch trailer</u></a> to see it in action.<br>\u200b<br>\u200bDeveloped by Alexandre Declos - Pas Game Studio, <em><strong>Horripilant</strong></em> is a mashup of incremental RPG mechanics and classic point-and-click adventure design. Descend through floor after floor of increasingly vicious creatures, crawling back to the surface when you&rsquo;ve hit your limit. Between runs, spend time at camp to harvest materials and invest in upgrades, while also exploring musty hallways with ever more challenging puzzles, leading to new characters and mysteries. </p><p>&quot;After a year of development, I&rsquo;m so excited to see this game go out into players&rsquo; hands. I&rsquo;m really happy with the universe we&rsquo;ve created and I hope that this unique experience will resonate with fellow incremental players as something a little unique and different!&quot; &ndash;Alexandre Declos</p><p><em><strong>Horripilant&rsquo;s</strong></em> rich artwork and vivid descriptions unfasten the imagination, inviting you to peek into the recesses of every corner, calling back memories of classic PC games. The autobattler combat gives room to set your own pace, as you can either get drawn into clicking on weak points and picking boons or have those choices made for you, beefing up your stats even when you need to attend to something else. <br>\u200b<br>\u200bSee how deep you can go and discover new items to solve puzzles when you return. When the going gets tough, sacrifice yourself and be reborn with permanent upgrades to stack the odds in your favor. </p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/b072cccf-cab7-4fd8-8c4d-9b975ffea812/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"\"\n                id=\"image-b072cccf-cab7-4fd8-8c4d-9b975ffea812\"\n                data-id=\"b072cccf-cab7-4fd8-8c4d-9b975ffea812\"\n                data-original=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/b072cccf-cab7-4fd8-8c4d-9b975ffea812/-/inline/no/Untitled\"\n                data-mfp-src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/b072cccf-cab7-4fd8-8c4d-9b975ffea812/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"Story image\"\n            />\n            <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover__caption\">\n                <svg class=\"icon icon-expand image-thumbnail-rollover__caption-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-expand\"></use>\n            </svg>            </div>\n        </div>\n\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\"></figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<p>Game Features</p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Incrementally gain and collect materials.</span></li><li><span>Combat horrific foes over 1000 floors in the dungeon.</span></li><li><span>Solve puzzles and explore the depths of your camp.</span></li><li><span>Upgrade your gear to venture deeper.</span></li><li><span>Meet God.</span></li><li><span>Become worthy.</span></li><li><span>Repeat, adapt, and survive.
