False Covenant

False Covenant is a short isekai horror experience about ritual, decay, and repetition.

A young Earthling is summoned by a mysterious priest and commanded to kill a goblin in a dark, cursed place. But the goblin always kills you. Each time you return, the ritual begins again—your corpses piling up where you fell, silent witnesses to your repeated failure.

As the cycles continue, memory begins to stir. A strange Bible. A flicker of doubt. A presence the priest wants to keep buried.

This jam build covers Act 1, culminating in a final, altered summoning. What happens next remains untold—for now.

Troubleshoot:

• If there is no BGM playing try to relaunch the game

Bugs:

• If enemy goblin seems wonky, it is what it is ￣へ￣

Features:

• A looping death-respawn cycle.

• A short narrative arc with foreshadowing of a greater story

• Ends at the fourth and final failed summon

• Simple Combat system

False Covenant ends not with victory—but with a question.
How many times can you die before something breaks?
