The Sect worships the Ignotum, ancient aliens responsible for life across the cosmos, and who they believe are the true rulers of Earth. Humanity must submit to their whims and serve as cattle. #MotherDreadMonday Join our Discord at discord.gg/DfNzKhm3XE

Piggy is one happy feller! It just gets so excited when you give it gold. You'll make sure to make a lot of purchases at it's shop right? Don't want to leave him sad... #MotherDreadMonday Join our Discord at discord.gg/DfNzKhm3XE

Look out, he's going to eat you! Here's your first 3D look at Swirly. #MotherDreadMonday Join our Discord at discord.gg/DfNzKhm3XE

Locke isn't a chatty guy. Still, as Beatrix's mentor, she'll be meeting up with her quite often during the exam, to provide updates and gain new insight into what is going on. #MotherDreadMonday Join our Discord at discord.gg/DfNzKhm3XE

Here's your first look at Beatrix's look in-game, striking with her sword! #MotherDreadMonday Join our Discord at discord.gg/DfNzKhm3XE

We will not be posting today, as we are still mid critical Barcelona Game Fest preparations, and we will be removing and reuploading some posts over the week so they better fit the correct social media, and are of a higher quality. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We are inspired by PS1 games, where the backgrounds where pre-rendered snapshots of 3d Environments. We wanted that fixed camera look, but with our own twist. Every shot in our game is hand painted! Here's a look. #MotherDreadMonday Join our Discord at discord.gg/DfNzKhm3XE

We've had a lot of different content shown for our Mondays. But today, we get to show a first: music! Here's the battle theme for Mother Dread. The ideal music for monster slaying. #MotherDreadMonday Join our Discord at discord.gg/DfNzKhm3XE

We have no posts today as our members enjoy some time off. We are grateful for your understanding and wish everyone an amazing summer!

Meet Piggy! This sentient fleshy piggybank is your shopkeep for the game. It's always there when you need it, along with helpful items and Sect cultists chanting its name. Cause why wouldn't you sing it's praises? #MotherDreadMonday Join our Discord at discord.gg/DfNzKhm3XE

We have no game updates today. But we still have something exciting to share with you. We will be at Barcelona Game Fest by Indie Dev Day, on October 10, 11 and 12. There you will be able to play Mother Dread! #MotherDreadMonday Join our Discord at discord.gg/DfNzKhm3XE

Throughout her exam, Beatrix is going to be slaying a lot of different Ignotum aliens. Meet our first enemy: Swirly! Despite the name, it's a vicious monster, with sharp teeth, wriggly tentacles and a long tongue. #MotherDreadMonday Join our Discord at discord.gg/DfNzKhm3XE

Meet Beatrix's brother and mentor: Locke Lyndon. A skilled gunman, he is one of the top ranked Killers, supervising Beatrix. His calm demeanor and unwavering courage occasionally slide, to let out the odd grin. #MotherDreadMonday Join our Discord at discord.gg/DfNzKhm3XE

Meet our protagonist: Beatrix Lyndon! Though only 16, she's already an immensely skilled swordswoman versed in the magic arts. She's brash and quick to dive to danger, yet she has an unshakable sense of justice. #MotherDreadMonday Join our Discord at discord.gg/DfNzKhm3XE
