KNELL

The parish is dead. The bell still rings.

You are the last keeper of a plague-emptied churchyard, and the dead do not care that the pews are empty. Hold the yard through a twenty-minute night with the rites and relics of a church that no longer answers — the toll of the bell is your clock, your warning, and your weapon.

This demo is the real night, ended early. Free keepers face the first office of the vigil and the Verger at its end. The full game — the whole night to matins, the Congregation, every keeper and rite — tolls on Steam soon.

- Eight rites, each a real piece of liturgy or grave-craft, evolving under paired relics

- A bell that matters: every minute tolls, and every toll calls a stronger wave

- Deterministic, allocation-free engine built for this game alone

- No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Your save is yours.
