Apocrypha
A downloadable game
In a world ruled by false gods, one monk descends into sacred ruins to reclaim the Apocrypha and restore the voice of the One.
Apocrypha is a RPG set in a decaying world of false gods and fractured truths. You play as a solitary silent monk, sworn to a monotheistic order, journeying through dungeons each themed around a lost book of the Apocrypha. These sacred trials are not just physical—they are spiritual crucibles, testing your faith, memory, and resolve.
Each dungeon is a living manuscript: overgrown ruins, cryptic relics, and spectral echoes of heretical sects. As you delve deeper, you must interpret ancient texts, confront moral paradoxes, and choose whether to preserve, rewrite, or destroy what remains.
Apocrypha blends atmospheric exploration with philosophical storytelling. Combat is meaningful in terms of storytelling, emphasizing the role the monk must fulfill. Puzzles are theological, environmental, and emotional—designed to challenge not just your intellect, but your convictions.
Will you emerge sanctified, shattered, or transformed?
🔹 Status Currently in development. This early build includes the first 20 minutes of game play. The whole game will be between 30-50 hours set in 12 chapters. Chapter 1 is largely finished, however only the first third is part of the demo. Feedback is welcome as the journey unfolds.
🔹 Pricing Free to download. Donations welcome to support continued development, and to hire voice actors and graphic designers.
🔹 Note This game draws inspiration from historical and theological texts. It is a work of fiction meant to provoke thought, not preach doctrine.
AI was used to create 3d models and text to speech, these will be replaced by real voice actors and 3d models by graphic artists once funds are available.
This game is the brainchild of a father son team and with the bulk of the programming done by a 14 year old.
