Leyline Resonance

Special Magic Controlling Unit — free alpha demo.

Leyline Resonance is a tactical FPS with a pixel-art 3D look. You play an Operator of the SMCU. Someone sealed the Royal Magic Academy from the inside, and there are still people trapped in there. Get in, get the civilians out, and deal with whatever is guarding the vault.

You lean around corners, breach doors, and fight from cover. But the room is a weapon too: kick and blast the furniture into your enemies.

The demo

• Tutorial. Movement, shooting, reloading, healing, and your class ability.
• Academy Raid. The main mission. Breach in, clear it room by room, reach the vault, and face what's guarding it. We won't spoil that part.
• 3 classes to try. Operator (carbine and breach charges), Novice Mage (fireballs), and Old Wizard (telekinetic force push).

What's in it

• Smart enemies. They flank, take cover, suppress you, and barricade doors. The way they fight was tuned by making them play against each other thousands of times and keeping whatever worked.
• The world is your weapon. Kick or blast props into enemies.
• Damage that sticks. Per-limb damage and bleeding, no regenerating health bar. You patch yourself up with bandages, splints, and potions.
• English and Thai. Switch any time in Settings.
• Pixel-art 3D. Low-poly models, 32px textures, torch-lit rooms.

Heads up

• This is an early alpha, so expect rough edges. If you find a bug or something feels off, please tell us.
• Windows 64-bit, needs a Vulkan GPU (Forward+). The first launch spends a few seconds on a "Preparing shaders" screen. That's normal.

This is our first game, and it's still in development. Made by 8pain dev. Thanks for playing.
