About the game
Hark the Ghoul is a first-person, exploration-focused indie souls-like that combines freeform traversal and expressive combat in a charming lore-rich world. It combines creative immersive-sim problem-solving, souls-like non-linear exploration, and a melancholic and striking world.

TIGHT AND TWISTING LEVEL DESIGN
Get lost in a myriad of seamlessly interconnected zones as you descend down the bowels of the earth and uncover its secrets.
TONS OF UNIQUE GEAR TO FIND
Use swords, whips, pistols, cannons, artifacts and employ magic to tear your way through your enemies. Every piece of gear has its unique utility.
CRISP RETRO-MODERN GRAPHICS
