Descend into depravity with Blackhold, a new kind of roguelike from Vhiel, creator of Odyssey of Gianna! Experience the Black Hole, a dimension-warping space that takes the reality of Blackhold University and twists and reshapes it into a perversion full of mysteries.

A range of unknowable threats await the moody Eve Duskthorne and her allies, ready to subject them to any number of humiliating defeats. If you suffer this indignity, you can return to the scene of the loss to retrieve your fallen assets... if you so choose.

They stand a chance only with the help of the mysterious but charming Ariadne, who grants them the ability to weave powerful spells. Through merging archetypal Ingredients, you can create over 50 impactful and unique spell combinations to aid in the girls' quest to reach the bottom of the bottomless void.

Why does the Black Hole exist? What caused it to come into being? Why is it so... perverted?

Only by piercing downward through the lurid darkness can you find your answers.

In the Blackhold University of Arts and Sciences, there is a condemned building that is home to a bizarre anomaly called the Black Hole, which takes the spacetime of the real school and duplicates and twists it into countless "floors" that go further and further and further down...

The Black Hole makes distorted copies of everything, and you will find these scattered throughout the floors, ranging from makeup in shifting colors to soft drinks of indescribable taste to textbooks with their words garbled into nonsense. Ultimately these items will be your saving grace, allowing you to weave spells out of ordinary objects, but be wary of the Black Hole's guardians and inhabitants - Some simply are programmed to prevent students from descending further, while others are shadow-beings and soulless shells of unknown origin and motivation. There may even be some who call the Black Hole home who are sane enough to help you...

You will be able to control a number of characters in Blackhold, but the first is Eve Duskthorne, a brilliant and creative but dry and sarcastic girl whose best friend, Luna Locke, went into the condemned building to explore and never returned. What happened to her, in this space with no end...?
