Prologue for a Vacant Kingdom
Vacant Kingdom is a synthesis of bullet hell and story-driven action-RPG. Explore a whimsical yet desolate land and uncover the mystery of why everyone disappeared.
About
Vacant Kingdom is a bullet hell action-RPG for PC and Mac. Its combat takes inspiration from Japanese arcade shooters, but the story and world are structured like an action-RPG. Bosses will put your skills to the test, but you'll only have to defeat each one once.
In Vacant Kingdom you explore a whimsical yet desolate land and try to uncover the mystery of where its inhabitants went. On the way you'll meet a colourful cast of characters. Like a chef who only knows one recipe, a nefarious wizard who wields the dark power of obtuse riddles, and a robot who is programmed to teach the world about insects.
Why "Prologue"?
Prologue for a Vacant Kingdom is a slice of a larger game which will eventually be released as Farewell for a Vacant Kingdom. You can think of it as a demo designed to gather feedback so that the final game can be as great as possible. However, even though Prologue is a demo, it does contain a lot of content. Most players can expect to spend 2-3 hours completing it.Key Gamer Features

Achievements
According to many behavioural psychologists, extrinsic rewards are thought to decrease intrinsic motivation for an activity.
For example, rewarding kids with pizza whenever they read a book teaches them to eat more pizza, not to read more. In fact, they'll find reading less innately enjoyable as a result.
By achievement hunting, you're training your brain to feel less rewarded by games themselves. Therefore, we recommend that you play without regard for achievements.
Vacant Kingdom has many secrets, try to feel inclined to find them in order to satisfy your natural curiosity — not in order to trigger a dopamine-inducing notification.
