Transcend

This game was made for the McBacon Jam #2

For as long as humanity has existed, they live supported by the Flow: a constant pulse of mana that enriches the earth, enabling humanity to thrive. Thought to be a gift from the gods themselves, the Flow's balance of light and dark energy is maintained by a ritual conducted every thousand years: Two humans are selected by the gods to be the Scions of Order and Chaos. Armed with divine and demonic weapons, the two must battle to the death. The victor's weapon, bathed in the blood of the other Scion's, would infuse the Flow with the power of light or darkness, and balance would be restored for another thousand years.

Now, however, that ritual threatens to be disrupted with the choosing of the new Scions.

Two lovers, Eir and Brynhildr, have been chosen as this cycle's Scions. In order to restore the Flow, they must battle to the death. Disgusted and mortified at being given such a horrible task by the gods, they cannot bring themselves to kill each other. However, if they do nothing, the Flow will eventually fall so far out of balance that the entire world will be consumed.

Unsure of their path forward, the two are approached by the fairy Lifa, who offers them a way out: Travel to Asgard, home of the Flow itself. Perhaps there lies a way to restore the balance of the Flow directly without the need for a sacrifice?

And so Eir and Brynhildr defy the orders of their gods and set off on their own. What awaits them at the end of this lonely road? Salvation? Damnation? Or something else entirely?

Currently very early in development.
