A cathedral that remembers you

Pale Orison started as a single room: a nave with one door that led somewhere different every time you died. We built forty versions of that room before we built a second one.

You play a pilgrim who carries the last lantern in the city. It lights the way, it burns the things that hunt you, and it is the only save point you get. Put it down to fight with both hands and the cathedral starts to shift around it.

What we are testing now

Parry timing, lantern fuel, and whether a map is ever allowed. The current answer is no. Closed playtests run every six weeks; sign-ups open a month before each one.
