—Protect the hearts known as 'these' from the approaching corruption of monsters known as 'them' with the last remaining survivors in this twisted dark fantasy realm.
These Are Them
SteamThis game doesn't have a tutorial as it is a game that is meant to be beaten as the player learns more about each of its levels and characters that being said allow me to tell you a thing or two about this game and a little of what you can expect.
The goal is simple protect the hearts known as "these"

from the wave of enemies trying to attack the "these" . The forces you fight are known as the "them"

and they take on many otherworldly and uncanny forms with the soul purpose of consuming what remains of the hopeless world.
in this world a fraction of light still remains as those branded with a mark of "forward"

can prevent the spread of the corruption and resist it themselves. When collecting a mark of "forward" it will recharge a small amount of energy allowing for the host it bonds with to use more of their special abilities.
Every survivor has their own unique special ability and can be used as much as they like so long as they have the stamina left to unleash them.


(press the confirm key/button during a stage to unleash your special attack every survivor has limited special uses per stage and collecting a mark of forward will replenish some uses so use them wisely .)
