Hello! I'm Ambla, solo game developer hustling with my real life.

My first game, Grimoire of Hecate : The Tower of the Starlight, the Demo is up!

It's my first game that I made by myself, and it has been tough, but also surreal journey.

I've been always a big gamer in my life, dreaming about making the game I want.

The old school feeling, witch theme, crafting spell with using that in combat. That was the start of my journey.

Since this is my first game, journey hasn't been easy to be completely honest. There were million things that were fully new for me. Even something that I thought it's 'basic' was hard to implement. But the feeling that I'm making what I'm imagining in my mind was amazing, and it motivated me more keeping going.

The demo includes some stage introducing base game logic, and introduction of storyline which is sad story of young witch, Ray. A lot of old school RPG games and modern roguelike games inspired me, so I'm trying to mix them up in my own way.

I'm still going hard on it. And it would make me feel so loved and motivated more if people would be interested in trying the game and giving some feedback, either good or bad. If someone has same game taste as me, I'm sure it's worth trying it out! So you can criticize me brutally to make the game better.

If you happen to try out this demo, please feel free to share whatever you felt about this game. Thank you so much!
