Killhouse

Main Description

Killhouse is a vertical-slice prototype of a 2D action platformer with roguelite elements. Each run takes place inside a newly generated castle layout built from rooms, corridors, ladders, and exit doors, so every level has a different shape and rhythm.

The game focuses on a compact core loop: explore the level, fight enemies, manage stamina, survive, and reach the exit to continue deeper. Combat is built around movement, timing, blocking, and stamina management instead of heavy RPG systems or loot.

This prototype was created in Godot 4 and uses a native C++ GDExtension module for procedural level generation.

Prototype Note

Killhouse is a prototype/vertical slice, not a finished full release. It is focused on testing the core idea: procedural platforming levels, basic combat, enemy AI, and adaptive difficulty working together as one playable system.
