Perennial Order

About this game

Perennial Order is a 2D plant horror boss rush, set in an atmospheric Dark Age world plagued by nature-infested horrors. Explore a mysterious world alone or with a friend, uncover a story through unusual NPCs, and cut down terrifying eldritch bosses, all in a painterly 2D style. David vs. Goliath Combat • Uncover a unique boss around every corner that will test you in different ways. • Intense combat that utilizes twin stick melee controls. • One-Hit-Death. Respawn directly at the beginning of an encounter to learn quickly from your actions; spend your time fighting rather than walking. Captivating 2D Style • A painterly 2D art style with a dark fantasy inspiration. • Themes and visuals akin to the world designs of titles like Dark Souls and Princess Mononoke. • Painstakingly crafted by 1 artist and 1 animator. We are developing the visual identity of Perennial Order through realistic, painterly techniques combined with 2D Spine animation. Plagued by Nature • Immerse yourself in a dreary land where unspeakable horrors roam. • Discover Unusual NPCs and unravel more about this mysteriously beautiful world. • Explore a rich atmosphere through sounds and score, with musical themes distinct to each boss.
