Palegrave

*This game and page is still in development. Some features may be incomplete or placeholder.*

Deep in the recesses of a land entombed in ice and blight, you, a lone traveler, are seeking remedy. Long before, hordes of the wretched and afflicted were sent away, imprisoned to perish in excruciating agony. The curse from their withered bodies permeated the ground and gave life to statues and idols of worship, which once were symbols of hope, rebirth, and salvation.

Descend into the ancient ruins, fend off against the devils that lurk in the chilling mist and survive to uproot the evil within. 

May time be on your side...

Palegrave is a fast-paced arena survival shooter inspired by the chaos of Devil Daggers. Shoot and blast through relentless waves of enemies or rely on your movement to stay alive. Collect gems to manipulate time and push your score higher, fighting for your place among the top.

This project was developed by a group of 12 first-year AGM Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas) students over the course of 6 weeks. The goal was to deliver a game demo that reinterpreted the core loop of a selected reference game (Devil Daggers) through cross-disciplinary collaboration.
