Ballad of Shame

Description

Is a rhythm-based action game that blends dungeon crawler and roguelite elements with Italian folklore. Set against the eerie backdrop of the Sibilline Mountains and inspired by legends like Guerin Meschino, players guide a knight toward his destiny: win fame and blood to claim the hand—or foot—of the village's most coveted woman. Battling irreverent minstrels, disillusioned squires, and cunning priests, rhythm becomes the key to overcoming obstacles and defeating malevolent fairies and their fearsome queen. The game merges fast-paced combat with strategic timing, offering a fresh twist on classic genre tropes. Developed by **Colpevoli Game Designer & Programmer** and **mayDave**, with art by **Nora** and music by **Ice Tea**, the project gained momentum through support from streamers Siormax, Soloumido, Yucali, Itermosifoni, and Dada during the Italocurso 202.
