“Go on, halt-foot,”
cried his frightful voice,
“go on, lazy-bones, interloper, sallow-face!—lest I tickle thee with my heel!
What dost thou here between the towers?
In the tower is the place for thee,
thou shouldst be locked up;
to one better than thyself thou blockest the way!”
-Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, The Parable of the Rope Dancer
LUCIFERIANISM is an indie roguelike soulslike. Set in a labyrinthine maze of 290 levels, it is an open world game, an rpg that will take you to a multitude of different locations, from Ancient Chinese and Japanese inspired levels, to modern day Urban Environments, and Cyberpunk Dystopia's. Made by one man in Unreal Engine 5, I have attempted to create a serious religious story with this work, which I somewhat succeeded at. It is an allegory, a religious parable, and a philosophical commentary on Nietzsche's Death of God.
The player can also press a button to start reading out philosophy, literature, and religious writings, from a variety of sources, including Plato, Nietzsche, Bram Stoker, Don Quixote, The Tao Te Ching, Freud, Shakespeare, Homer, Journey to the West, and various other works from literary history. Plus a shutup button.

What a fine day,
These demons.
Anyway, the game's not really about making money, I made it free so the maximum number of people would get a chance to play it. The maker of this game has schizophrenia, so I am very proud to have gotten this far.
Inspired by the teachings of Morgue.
