Dalliances with the devil
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
!! Trigger warning: This game contains gore, violence, themes of depression and blood. Player be warned and proceed with caution !!
You're dead. Deceased. Very much so. But alas, the pearly gates did not beckon you forth.
Instead you face an afterlife of eternal damnation in the depths of flaming pits and agonising loneliness.
But--lucky for you! Looks like you've managed to strike a deal and it only costs...your soul!
(Basically free money! Who needs a soul anyways!)
So take your pick and select any of Hell's finest inhabitants to be your everlasting companion!
Although, maybe beware the pointy teeth.
Oh--and no refunds! ^^

Hey there, I really enjoyed your game c: I absolutely love the monster forms you've created (Lili in particular, whoa, did not expect that) and the art style overall. All the characters are lovely too. Zhong Kui especially, the sweetest thing, just a little hermit, harmless really.
Ahhh!! Thank you so much!! ^^ I really appreciate hearing feedback from players!!
Also super glad that you enjoyed playing it! I tried to make the monster forms as unique as possible lol, kinda basing it off their original lore-designs.Lili's was kinda gardeny/snakey from Lilith in the Garden of Eden.
Also Zhong Kui just wants to be silly and chill lol, people just be tiring sometimes :') Thanks Litch! Hope you have a wonderful rest of day!! ❤️❤️
Ah, so you've defenitely succeeded! You've also created a nice balance of beauty and terror with the alternative forms. Oh, and I didn't even know that Cerberus was sometimes presented as snake of with snake parts, since in media it's usually just a three headed dog. And it's nice to see different portrayal of Lilith. More of a woman scorned than an unbothered queen, but still charismatic and alluring.
You game truly deserves so much more recognition! Hope you have a wonderfull day/night too! And best of luck with any future projects, I will be lurking and checking them out one by one.
