GRAVE TITHE — Roguelite: You Are Death

A reverse bullet heaven where YOU are the monster.

GRAVE TITHE inverts the survivors-like roguelite: you play as Death itself. The living want their souls back — skeletal deserters, peasant mobs, church hounds, archers, knights, witch hunters, and self-igniting zealots hunt you in ever-thickening hordes, commanded by four boss saints of the Church. And behind them all waits the true final boss: the sunrise. At minute 20, dawn burns even Death. Kill the Archangel first, or end in fire.

BUILD DEPTH · 10 weapons built for a reaper — sweep the Scythe, leash crowds with Rattling Chains, dig Open Graves that swallow enemies whole, drag them together with The Beckoning, write Epitaphs that curse-leap on death, ring the Judgment Bell to execute the weak · 10 evolutions — max a weapon, max its partner boon, open a chest: HARVEST, THE GIBBET, POTTER'S FIELD, BLACK CONGREGATION, FINAL TOLL… · 20 relics from reliquary chests — extra weapon slots, execution ropes, loaded dice that reroll fate, coins that refuse death · Color-coded upgrade rarity: Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Legendary · Channel forgotten shrines under enemy pressure for run-permanent blessings

META PROGRESSION Every soul you harvest persists. Spend them in the Ossuary on 10 permanent upgrade tracks. Die, grow, ride again.

6 PLAYABLE HORSEMEN — each with a unique innate ability, unlocked through brutal challenge rites: defeat the Cardinal untouched, reach minute 8 with no boons, harvest 400 souls in one night…

Handcrafted pixel art, dynamic lantern lighting, three rotating dark soundtracks — everything generated in code, no engine, one file. Plays in your browser.

The living are coming for their souls. Harvest until dawn.
