Perennial Order
Perennial Order is a 2D plant horror boss rush with challenging one-hit-death combat. Set in an atmospheric Dark Age world plagued by nature-infested horrors, explore a lore-filled and eldritch land alone or in two player co-op, all in a realistic painterly style.

“This game has no right to be this good wtf Dark fantasy ✅ Awesome boss design ✅ Unique and fun combat system ✅ Pleasant charm and atmosphere ✅ Thank you for making this game”
— a player, Steam review · 9 hrs played“First souls-like to have actually reasonable difficulty instead of making me wanna jump off a cliff? AND with a fun gameplay loop? It's more likely than you think. Game slaps.”
— a player, Steam review · 19 hrs played“Haven't finished it yet so will add later, but I've really enjoyed what I've played, this game has incredible style and soul. It clearly lives up to a genuinely passionate team behind it. Also the gameplay has been pretty sick, but again haven't finished things.”
