Below Hollowmere

🕯️ Bring a light. Go down.

"They keep me on the lowest floor. Bring a light."

Your sister Ada was admitted to Hollowmere Sanatorium in 1979. The building closed in 1981. Last night, a letter arrived in her handwriting.

Below Hollowmere is a turn-based horror roguelike with RPG progression. Descend 8 procedurally generated floors of an abandoned sanatorium with nothing but a lantern, and find out what the Matron did to the patients.

🔦 Light is your lifeline

• Your lantern burns oil every turn. Less oil means a smaller circle of light, and in the dark your sanity drains faster.
• Low sanity makes you see things: phantoms that vanish when you strike, whispers, a reddening screen. Sometimes you can't tell what's real.
• Mannequins only move when you aren't looking. Wraiths pass through walls. Screamers wake the whole floor.

⚔️ Roguelike + RPG

• Permadeath, procedural floors, bump-to-attack turn-based combat
• Level up and choose 1 of 3 perks (13 in total)
• Weapons from a broken pipe to a bone saw, a revolver with limited ammo, armor and trinkets
• Unidentified pills: their colors change every run — healing, calming... or poison
• 10 monster types, a final boss and 2 endings decided by your sanity
• 12 lore pages that stay in your Archive between runs
