Our Darker Purpose
Description
Our Darker Purpose is a top-down action-RPG with roguelike elements in which the player takes on the role of a girl called Cordy. She lives in the Edgewood Home for Lost Children where, one day, all the adults vanished without a trace, leaving Cordy and two others in charge. Suddenly, the charismatic and strong children assaulted the more introverted ones and took over the orphanage. Cordy must now climb the tower, fight the other children and reach the administrator's office at the very top.
Cordy can fire a projectile in one of four directions and becomes stronger by finding various items and collecting enough experience to level up. Death is permanent in the game and forces you to restart from the bottom of the tower, but you can spend points you earn by clearing floors on permanent upgrades. Each floor is also randomized and has a few traits, such as spawning more health-refilling items, having more mini-bosses or taking double damage from all attacks. You proceed to the next floor by defeating the boss and taking the crystal it drops upon death.
