The Deep Rises

A race to the Lighthouse

The Deep Rises is a run-based strategy game about preparing for a final boss who’s already crossing the map toward a Lighthouse. You have four days before he arrives. Each move you make costs time: he advances one tile for every four steps you take, while foes grow stronger at dawn.

You choose which fights to take, open chests, shop in villages, and light beacons that slow the boss. There isn’t time to do everything, so each detour gives him more time to advance. The run ends in a fight using the kit you’ve assembled.
