Blasphemous

Blasphemous is a 2D action-platformer set in Cvstodia, a fictional world of extreme Catholic-inspired imagery and body horror, developed by The Game Kitchen. Combat is deliberate and execution-focused, with parry windows and unlockable abilities. The aesthetic draws heavily on Spanish Renaissance religious art, making it visually distinct from most pixel-art games.
