A Beast's Burden (Alpha Release)
A downloadable game
You are a magnificent creature of legend, a Beast of Myth … and you do not want to die. Unfortunately, this world is full of rabid hunters who are not willing to give you a moment of peace. So every day is a battle to survive, fighting to defeat those who would bring you down and transform you into a trophy upon their mantlepiece. Strike down the waves of incoming foes, and use the knowledge gained by defeating them to unlock the power hidden within you, the better to endure until tomorrow.
