GRAVE SHIFT: free survival horror roguelite released in Early Access

GRAVE SHIFT has been released as a free game in Early Access for Linux on Steam.

It is an isometric survival horror roguelite by null set games in which you play the “Keeper” and fight through procedurally generated rooms of a town overrun by the undead with scarce ammo. The developers intend to keep the game free after Early Access.

GRAVE SHIFT is an isometric survival-horror roguelike. You are the Keeper, called to a town where the dead outnumber the living.

Make every shot count

Ammo is scarce. Reloads take time. Search for supplies, manage the limited space in your coat and keep an escape route in mind. Take careful aim, fight at close quarters or break away before the dead surround you.

Choose your route. Change your build.

Branching paths, procedurally generated rooms and changing rewards make each run different. Explore the Cemetery and Town, search houses and sprawling mansions, and find the keys and puzzle components that open a way forward.

Shape your run with supernatural boons. Set enemies ablaze, spread poison, turn your flashlight into a weapon or call on spirits and creatures from the deep. Combine powers and upgrades to find a build that keeps you alive.

Survive the hunt

Relentless Tyrants pursue you while you search for a way forward. You can stagger them, but you cannot kill them. Break their line of sight, keep moving, and solve the puzzles standing between you and escape.

Die. Upgrade. Return.

Death ends your run, not all of your progress. Keep the upgrade materials you have earned, improve your weapons and abilities at the hilltop hub, and set out again. Between runs, get to know Marrow Run’s survivors and uncover the story behind the missing night shift.

Unravel the Mystery

The night shift went into the mines beneath the town of Marrow Run, and it never came back. Then, the ground split open, and the dead began to rise.
