Vacant Kingdom
A downloadable video game for Windows and macOS
Vacant Kingdom is a bullet hell action-RPG for PC and Mac.
Combat takes inspiration from Japanese arcade shooters.
However, the story and world are structured like an action-RPG.
Bosses will put your gaming skills to the test,
but you'll only have to defeat each one once.
In this game you explore a whimsical yet desolate land
and try to uncover the mystery of where its inhabitants went.
On the way you'll meet a colourful cast of characters.
Like a chef who only knows one recipe,
a nefarious wizard who wields the dark power of obtuse riddles,
and a robot who is programmed to teach the world about insects.
Prologue for a Vacant Kingdom is a slice of a larger game
which will eventually be released as Farewell for a Vacant Kingdom.
You can think of it as a demo designed to gather feedback
so that the final game can be as great as possible.
Even though Prologue is a demo, it does contain a lot of content.
Most players can expect to spend 2-3 hours completing it.
