Chamberfall is a fast bullet-hell roguelike set in a drowned, candle-lit vault. Every foe down here is a living flame: tallow soldiers, wax-spitting gutterlings, diving cindermoths, three-armed candelabras that wheel streams of embers, weaving wickworms, dashing matchlings and paper lanterns that fill the dark with fire. Roll through the storm, topple pews for cover, and snuff out every ember on screen when things get desperate.

Pick one of four heroes (the Lampwarden, the Sapper, the Ferrier or the Chorister), each with their own gun, item and perk. Fight down through four procedurally carved depths, from the Sunken Nave to the Everflame Crucible. Loot strange guns and relics from chests and the Chandlery, find secret rooms behind cracked walls, and put out the four great flames that wait at the bottom: the Great Chandelier, Mother Moth, the Bellwright and the Last Candle.
