Perpetual Mind: Rogue

This game was initially created in seven days for the 7DRL Game Jam. It is very incomplete and potentially buggy. It's also using UE5, so performance mileage may vary! And yes, the graphics are currently terrible looking and barren, but it's programmer art for now.

Game's General Idea: 

"Rogue-Lite biopunk game in which the player is trapped inside an immortal, transferable skull, and they have to survive within a cut-throat world of genetically engineered horrors made of flesh and desperation. One wrong move can lose them years, only to awaken again, trapped in a lowly scrubber and forced to repeat the cycle again, desperate for a better fate this time around. In this game, death is never the end, and it’s soon clear, that there are many fates worse than death."

Procedurally generated world, procedural enemy and NPC placement. The world's "landmass" is generated at the start and each time the player dies, the world ages, the structures grow and die, and then new ones grow. Eventually, the player respawns in a new but familiar world where time has passed. All the enemies have skulls with random names and 5 skulls need to be placed in the centre to allow the player to win the game. The player can progress by collecting skulls and switching up to better bodies with better stats.
Options Menu is currently non-functional and a placeholder.
