About This Game

Gameplay:
- Black Beacon Hill is a top-down bullet hell shooter with a unique and extremely minimalistic core mechanic: All player attacks, movements, and actions are pre-scripted automatically launched. Players only control the aim of these actions. Which means:
- There are zero buttons to press, and no controls besides mouse movement.
And it looks like this:

- Each stage contains it's own piece of original soundtrack. Composed by Chris Jay.

Story:

- [The high chamber] finds itself in a precarious position. Domestically, challengers against it's iron grip over Ulstania had begin to rear their heads from the senate and the civil police force. Beyond its borders, the long war it instigated against Kostakovia had become an unwinnable slugfest yielding only scortched earth at the cost of countless Ulstanian lives. Meanwhile, the sudden loss of communication with the front and whispers of a rogue cyberweapon herald a greater crisis on the horizon...
- Caught in the middle are the [Phantoms] - Hired operators of the high chamber. The few surviving veterans of the war with nowhere else to go. Making a living off doing the dirty work of their employers. Trying to ignore the open secret that, one way or another, this arrangement will not last...

- An originally written visual novel that plays out in between and within each stage.


Future Arcs:
- TBA

Games by their nature make you feel like you're in control over what happens. You move the pieces, you make the dialogue choice, you equip your character. But your real agency is always much more limited that it seems, and even when limits seem to be removed, what's changed is mainly that you can make many meaningless decisions, like a decision to go to a completely empty place in an open world game. This game makes you feel instead like you have very limited control of what's going on. You can choose where your character shoots but not whether your character shoots, where your character dodges but not when to dodge, and so on. Which is realistic: it's circumstances and enemy action and your character's abilities that force you to shoot or dodge. The story is also about people like this, with very little control over what's going on, and in situations like this, with the enemy also getting a vote in what happens. In the first couple of missions it might feel like you're not reall...
