Vindices - Beyond The Walls

You are the lifeline of a struggling town. Beyond its walls lie hostile, ever-changing regions filled with monsters, scarce resources, and hidden opportunities. Every expedition is unique, and your success keeps the town alive. Enter diverse biomes, push through randomized levels, gather resources and powerful items, and return home before midnight to sustain your people.

Core Gameplay Loop

Travel from the town to outside areas through portals, face challenging encounters, and explore procedurally generated levels. Collect resources, loot, and rewards on each run, then return to town to fulfill requests, rebuild, and prepare for the next expedition.

Turn-based Combat with a Twist

Engage a variety of enemies across biomes using a strategic, preparation-based system. Each fight begins with a preparation turn where you choose your next three moves based on your available energy. Your power comes from the weapons you equip and the training you undergo, making gear and progression essential to every skirmish.

Randomized Runs

Every biome hides multiple randomized levels, ensuring traps, rewards, and mysteries differ with every expedition. Adapt to changing layouts and keep each journey fresh as you push outward to uncover new challenges.

Requests & Town Progression

Townsfolk post varied requests on the Request Board—ranging from simple supply runs to high-risk quests in dangerous regions. Choose which missions to take, stock up on necessities, and study how your successes bolster the town’s growth. Resources returned from expeditions directly sustain people, unlock new areas, and shape future planning.

Items, Equipment & Strategy

Discover and manage a growing catalog of items and gear. Each run presents new opportunities to swap, upgrade, and tailor your loadout, influencing your approach to upcoming challenges and how you navigate the town’s evolving needs.

World & Art

Explore a pixel-art world crafted with care, offering vibrant environments and a nostalgic vibe. The visuals emphasize atmosphere and immersion as you trudge through shifting landscapes and eerie ruins.
