The Loam Lands are full of nightmarish horrors and dark secrets. As a new Acolyte, you will explore this dark world to delve into its secrets and learn its history in an epic adventure. Source of Madness is a roguelike action side-scroller with graphics in 2D where you fight against hordes of nightmarish beasts and fearsome bosses.

The gameplay reminisces games like Dead Cells, but the graphics are more detailed and represent a dark universe inspired by the work of H.P. Lovecraft. All the content is procedurally generated, so no two games are the same. Depending on your class, you use different weapons and spells to fight against the monsters. As you progress through the game, you will be able to unlock more powerful abilities from a skill tree.

Source of Madness is a challenging roguelike adventure in a dark fantasy world with a good dose of action and nightmarish scenarios.
