Description:

Skautfold: Bloody Pack is a unique indie title that combines the intricacies of classic Metroidvania gameplay with a gripping narrative steeped in cosmic horror. Set in an alternative historical world reminiscent of Victorian England, Skautfold: Bloody Pack invites players to explore the eerie and unsettling environments of the Angelic Empire of Britannia in the year 1897. As a player, you will take on the role of a brave character tasked with uncovering the dark secrets surrounding the Berelai Manor, which has been shrouded in a mysterious and unnerving mist.

In the first segment of the series, Skautfold: Shrouded in Sanity, your contract demands that you eliminate the source of this unnatural fog. As you delve deeper into the manor, you will encounter grotesque inhabitants who have succumbed to a bizarre insanity, manifesting from their comprehension of cosmic insignificance. Expect to defend yourself against these deranged foes with your trusty Iaito stick and the powerful Waltham A9 hand cannon. The game also introduces healing mechanisms through Vitae brews, ensuring you have the means to survive the lurking horrors.

As the story unfolds, players must grapple with the haunting psychological challenges posed by the unfolding events. The quest for truth and survival within this engulfing mist will test your resolve and sanity as you seek answers within the mansion's sinister walls.

The sequel, Skautfold: Usurper, expands upon the lore established in the first game. While prior knowledge of the original isn’t necessary, it enhances the experience. This action RPG continues to showcase the gripping battle with Eldritch horrors unleashed from the foreboding Citadel. Your mission in Usurper is to liberate London from these unspeakable nightmares. A new 'Guard' system has been introduced, rewarding players for skillful gameplay and precise timing. Here, instead of losing health instantly upon being hit, players will first lose 'Guard Points,' which function as a regenerating shield. This clever mechanic allows you to convert incoming attack damage into Guard Points by skillfully dodging and countering, creating a satisfying challenge for both newcomers and seasoned players alike.

The Skautfold series captivates players with its blend of horror themes and refined gameplay mechanics, creating a rich tapestry that keeps you engaged. With high replay value and a deep narrative, Skautfold: Bloody Pack serves as an excellent addition to your indie gaming collection, guaranteed to satisfy fans of the Metroidvania genre.

Be prepared to confront the unknown as you unravel the mysteries beneath the surface of the Angelic Empire. With its compelling storytelling, captivating world design, and fluid combat mechanics, Skautfold: Bloody Pack is a thrilling experience that masterfully combines challenges and exploration. Dive in and face the darkness!
