What would you do to bring back someone you love?
Sword of the Necromancer is a dungeon-crawler action RPG with Rogue-like elements where you can revive your defeated enemies to make them fight alongside you.
Turn your foes into allies using the forbidden powers of the Sword of the Necromancer and help Tama reach the dungeon's depths in order to gain enough power to bring Koko back from the dead.
Gather a little army of monsters, equip yourself with weapons and relics and level up to take on the guardians that stand between you and your objective.
Features: Turn your foes into allies: use the Sword of the Necromancer to revive defeated monsters and make them fight alongside you. Gather weapons and relics: each weapon is different from the others thanks to the procedural weapon generation system, which gives them various effects and attributes. Fight with all your might: defeat your enemies using a variety of weapons and objects and dominating the fluid head-to-head battle system. Level up: enhance your character by fighting enemies and upgrade your stats. Improve your summoned monsters by fighting alongside them. Death is not the end: Each try gets you closer to the Necromancer. You will lose all your equipped weapons and monsters, but you will retain half the level you achieved in your run. Also, you can choose to exit the dungeon at some moments, losing all your level progress but maintaining all your equipment. Learn the truth: Discover Tama and Koko's past as you advance through the dungeon. Local co-op play: Use the Flask of Homunculus to create a copy of the playable character and play with a friend in local co-op game.
"Legend says that, deep within these mountains, a heretic decided to violate the will of the gods in order to achieve eternal life. The heretic succeeded in this aberrant attempt, and created a tool for forbidden rituals that could grant immortality… and even bring back the dead. Over the years and centuries many have tried to get that power for themselves, but all they found in the Necromancer’s crypt was their demise. They say that the tool the Necromancer created is also a weapon…
The Sword of the Necromancer” Story: Tama is a former rogue that is tasked to escort the priestess Koko in her pilgrimage around the continent. During their travel Koko dies, and Tama carries the corpse to the Necromancer's crypt, where legends say there dwells a power that may resurrect the dead. Filled with despair, Tama will enter the dungeon with the aim of obtaining the forbidden power of necromancy, ignoring the dangers that lurk in the shadows.

Against explosive firepower, bitter cold, and dizzying heights, Fork Parker must outwit a group of no-talent game developers in a deadly holiday promotional game. Also, it's free.
The fiscal year is coming to a close and poor Fork Parker has lost all his wonderful profit to greedy developers and their endless thirst for royalties! Grab a martini and ride your private helicopter to the snow capped mountains and hunt down the riches you so rightly deserve. Jump, dash, and rappel your way up the sheer mountainside to scratch out a little profit and meet the demands of an increasingly angry board of directors!
Fork Parker's Holiday Profit Hike features snow, helicopters, ugly holiday sweaters, non-denominational penguins, a title screen, dope beats, ethics, torches, reverse monetization, hot tubs, non-candied canes, falling, ropes, and non-refundable holiday cheer.
Follow @devolverdigital on Twitter and join the Devolver Digital Super Fun Club on Steam for more fun and games. Sometimes free games. But not all the time, it would make Fork Parker sad.

Kith is a planetoid covered in fractures. Between these fractures are plateaus. On these plateaus, there is life. Deep in the cracks though, there is a dark and mysterious mist. Word is, nobody has ever been down there, and nobody knows if it has a bottom. Most don't think about it too much though. There's stuff to do.
Welcome to this regular mini-adventure series with a focus on character and world building. In small chunks you will get to know the people and places of this world, and hopefully be charmed by their... charm. Kith episodes will always be tiny, but always free.
If you would like to support the continuation of these mini adventures, please consider grabbing the DLC.
Music by Ben Burnes, aka Abstraction.

During the day the forest is calm and peaceful. It is during the night that you hear the roars... ...of monsters.
Accompany Lucy and her friends in this grim, beautifully hand-drawn adventure game by the creators of Little Briar Rose, in collaboration with studio Luna2.
Lucy is afraid of the forest, just like any other child: every night, the echoing roars rob her of her sleep. Not even her dreams are a safe place where she could play.
People disappearing is nothing uncommon in the village, but this time, Lucy is old enough to investigate on her own. Or so she thinks.
Freatures: Explore Silentown in search of hints, but beware: do not enter the forest. A unique, unsettling 2D art style fitting for a mysterious, dark tale. Music plays a crucial role, and learning how to sing will help Lucy in times of need. Combine items to obtain widely unexpected results! Many quirky characters (and animals!) to interact with. Be nice to them before they disappear. Play minigames with the other children of the village! A very mean cat, programmed to mess with Lucy at any given chance. Curious, original puzzles: use a leash and a pair of shears to break in your mother’s best friend’s house, all in order to steal… a flower?!
Note: The full game, Children of Silentown, is coming soon.

Ruff Night At The Gallery is an adorable short-form horror game where you explore an art gallery. Alone. At night. Sound scary? Don’t worry, the paintings are of cute dogs! But maybe do worry because they’re also haunted…
Collect the keys to make it through each exhibit, but make sure to keep an eye on the artwork: the paintings like to move around. Ghost dogs will also pop off their canvases when you’re not looking to give you a big ol’ lick.
These dogs ain’t your grandpa’s poker playing kitsch - they’re works from the greats, from renaissance classics like “Pup With A Tasty Bone” and Paw Vinci’s “The Doggo Lisa” to modern masterpieces like “American Dogthic”, “The Howl”, Pawcasso’s “Pup Before A Mirror” - this gallery has something for everyone! (except cats)
Features: Short-form, experimental, scary/cute gameplay Explore a creepy art gallery at night Admire art from the canine world’s finest brushes Haunted paintings are sneaky Don’t get licked!

In the Pause Between the Ringing is a short story from the world of Somewhere.
The story of an inventor called Iqbal and of the first telephone mines in India.
In a country stitched with telephone wires, it is not surprising to discover that a history of the telephone was first written in a book of Geology. The telephone is after all a noticeable fixture of the Indian landscape. And it's sonorous ringing has long heralded sudden and momentous changes in the minute destinies of its people.
The instrument can be found, amplifying the terrifying horns of Babur's army from the ragged edge of Chenab. Or clattering with the shouts of Chalukya craftsmen, that once echoed along the Badami temples.
It is even heard across time, like the chiseling of Ashoka's inscriptions that would manifest as an unresolved ringing in the inner ear of James Prinsep. Or when William Brooke O'Shaughnessy believed that, much like cholera riddled veins, these telegraph cables would let him pump restoratives straight into the heart of a troubled nation.
In this country of telephones and wires, phone directories become genealogies, telephone exchanges become places of pilgrimage and the ringing, clicking drone of its machinery - a metronome of the sporadic history of this land.
Our story is told amidst this tangle of cables and time. It is told when Iqubal awaits a telephone call and his perpetual pause forces a recollection of the terrifying history of the telephone in India.

A Game Without Meaning.
A Game Nobody Should Play.
When the Darkness comes is a walking simulator whose glitchy and dark tale tries to illustrate the hardships of depression and anxiety through a variety of imaginary digital landscapes.
A clock, a piano and a girl. What do they all mean? What is meaning, anyway? What has meaning? Do you have one? A path, a goal, something determined, pre-determined? A light to follow?
Discover a world filled with loneliness and fear. A world where despair breathes and hope dies. A world about you, about us. A world about humanity and about life.
Before Starting This Experience is NOT for everyone. This Experience explores themes such as depression, anxiety, verbal abuse, manipulative control, and suicide. This game could also potentially trigger epilepsy attacks. Seriously, do NOT play this Experience if you believe this might affect you in any way.
The first Arc should take about one hour to complete.
About the Experience This was the culmination of a self exploration into my own psyche. If it can help anyone else explore their own I am thankful for that, and if the game isn't to your liking I appreciate you taking the time to try it anyway. I won't be updating it anymore (safe for major bugs) since it was simply an outlet for my own creativity but enjoy it as it is.
Controls Movement: WASD or arrow keys Interact: F Jump: Space Sprint: Shift
There's a toggle to swap between AZERTY and QWERTY layouts in-game.
This Experience might not be suitable for streaming audiences.

BirdGut is a hand-drawn 2d puzzle-platformer set inside the internal organs of a bird.
A bee hatches in the hive, but something's wrong. Born different from the others, the bee is exiled from the hive and forced to survive the world on its own. That is, until a bird attacks and eats it.
But that's only the beginning... Inside the bird, all of the bugs that it eats are brainwashed and put to work in fantastical, mechanical factories that exist in the place of its organs, except for the outcast bee, whose very disability prevents them from being brainwashed. The bee takes it upon itself to destroy the massive bird from the inside out, and free all the enslaved critters within.
Features: A curious hand-drawn art style, with plenty of quirky moving parts A wealth of unique environments to explore, each with their own special obstacles and puzzles Physics-based fun, and classic platforming A diverse cast of insect characters Three separate endings to choose from Hidden Secrets in every level 22 achievements to collect Giant worms
