About The Drain

"It's tough being the servant of an Evil God" After the sun sets and the clock strikes midnight, your task begins: you must feed your master before the first light of dawn. How hard can it possibly be to survive the night?...
The Drain (Previously KAISA: Resurrection) is a challenging, strategic roguelite with a dark, culty vibe and a sound-based threat system.

Beware of the Shopkeeper.

Not all entities in the world care for your mission or existence...
Make too much noise at night and find out more about the crushing fist of the Shopkeeper.  

Death & Creation

What is death really? When you are in the service of an evil God, it's not without its perks! When you die horribly it's more of an opportunity to be reassembled with new exciting body parts you found on your previous attempt.
Death is not the end, just an opportunity for self-improvement!

Daytime

During the daylight hours when you master sleeps, what you do is up to you. This is a race against the clock. Scavenge the house, acquire upgrades, and perhaps find a way to stretch your freedom from your demanding God.Just make sure to be back before midnight.

The Drain - Roadmap

 
Gameplay:
  • Night-Time, Feed your master in a difficult small arena battler setting. 
  • Daytime, Scavenge, Prepare and explore.
  • Unlock new weapons, body parts and upgrades.
  • Set in a world heavily inspired by 90s campy horror.
  • Beware of the noise you make.
  • Not everything is as it seems.
About us:
  • We’re a small, passionate two-man team that has been working hard for over 3 years to bring this game to life. Magnus the artist: Leading the project, does the visuals, sound fx and gameplay side of things.Björn the programmer: Makes it all run with… dark magic?
    Our Vision
  • The Drain is meant to be a hard, this is not a straight hack and slash, it's more of a delicate stab in the dark. It’s challenging, bloody, and unforgiving, but every victory is earned.

    Your task has already begun. The Drain commands you. Wishlist now, or join our Early Access!

The Drain is absolutely visually stunning, with a unique setting and an aesthetic to match. The fights can be challenging but are always engaging, with many mechanics to explore and make the game easier. The lying and exploration systems are satisfyingly unique. To top it all off, the game still has more in store planned for the future. The combination of limbs, weapons, and heads are simple but allow for greatly different playstyles from run to run, greatly increasing the replayability of the game. There are some downsides, though. Mechanical clarity is quite low, so you have to be paying a great deal of extra attention to notice things that may be extremely helpful to know. For example, the vending machine healing is extremely useful considering the mountains of money you can make with a high lying skill and some bird killing. There isn't really a clear reference as to the damage types and enemy resistances either, which further adds to the confusion. On top of that the visual clarity of some things is rather lacking. The coloration of limbs follows an ethereal logic only known by the artist, and inks suddenly stop working. The chopsticks can also just instantly kill you wit…

I am very confused why this game doesn't have more reviews, it's great. The artwork, animations and sound design are fantastic and the gameplay is also reasonably addicting if you're into difficult roguelikes. Devs are great and seem to consistently update this EA project, so I can't wait to see what the future holds for this project.
