Phaesarium: Vilia's Curse

A pestilent evil grows inside Galefort Castle, and only you, Princess Vilia, can stop it. Harness deadly spells against hordes of monsters in Phaesarium: Vilia’s Curse, an arcade-style 2.5D horror shooter.

Take on break-neck shooting action in a creepy gothic horror setting. Step between the Waking World and the Nightmare Realm to find your sister, Regreta. How long will you survive the ochre slime in Phaesarium: Vilia’s Curse?

Some Gameplay tips for Phaesarium:

• Full controls can be found in the in-game menu (press Tab to open).
• Your objective is to clear out the dangerous cultists and bats infesting the library so that you can continue your search for Regreta.
• Keep an eye out for a second spell somewhere in the level
• When you run out of magic, press "R" to enter the Nightmare Realm, where you'll refill it
• In the Nightmare Realm, refill your magic, and get out. Hold Shift to run.
• The portal out of the Nightmare Realm reopens when your magic is full.
• Health regenerates in the Waking World, but drains in the Nightmare Realm.
