Bay of Shadows

Quantic Bit

About this game

The next room is dark. You don't know what awaits inside, but you know one thing: going back is not an option.

Bay of Shadows is an infinite, procedural pixel art dungeon. Each descent is new, each floor is generated on the fly and no run is the same as the last.

You take on the role of a lone explorer trapped in the depths. Your objective is simple to understand and difficult to master: clear the boss room, open the portal and dive deeper and deeper, floor after floor, without end.

The fun is in the tension. Each step can reveal treasure or an ambush, and the decision to advance or retreat is yours alone.

HOW TO PLAY

The loop is straightforward and addictive. You move with the directional pad, attack with the sword and use the dash to escape at the last second.

Each attack and each dodge consumes stamina, so you learn to read the rhythm of combat, choose the right time to attack and the right time to retreat.

Bosses are not damage sponges. They advance, summon reinforcements, trample, release auras and go on a rampage. You need to identify the pattern, dodge at the right time and counterattack in the gaps.

LOOT AND EQUIPMENT

Exploring is rewarded. Scattered throughout the dungeon are chests, swords, and equipment with rarities ranging from common to mythical.

Each item changes how you play. A new weapon can redefine your entire run, and putting together the right gear is an essential part of going further.

PERMANENT PROGRESSION

Even when you fall, nothing is completely lost. The gold collected becomes permanent improvements between runs.

Increase your health, increase your damage, reinforce your defense, improve your drop luck, earn more gold and start each new descent stronger than the last.

It's this evolution that turns defeat into fuel: each fall brings you a little closer to breaking your own record.

REPLAYABILITY

As the floors are procedural, the challenge is never repeated. Layouts, enemies, bosses and treasures change with each game.

Add that to gear rarities and permanent upgrades and you have virtually endless combinations to experiment with. There is always a reason to try again.

PLAY WITH OTHERS

Bay of Shadows also has online multiplayer. See other explorers on the same floors and activate optional PvP when you want to risk it all against real players.

And for those looking for the top, there is a global ranking. Climb as many floors as possible, accumulate points and compete for leadership with players from all over the world.

VISUAL STYLE

The art direction is classic pixel art with a dense, dark atmosphere. Tight corridors, low lighting and a dungeon-like atmosphere that keeps you on your toes at all times.

It's retro in soul and modern in finish, designed to run smoothly on your cell phone screen.
