POWERLESS CHAOS

♦ POWERLESS CHAOS is a 2D metroidvania about fighting inner demons and temptations. It is primarily inspired by games like Super Metroid and Megaman X. You play as Delroy (Del for short), a young teen who had his family taken away from him during the apocalypse, and now he must fight the temptations that face him in order to rescue his people and restore peace to the sacred land of Zypheria. POWERLESS CHAOS aims to provide a captivating story with meaningful characters, unique mechanics, an original soundtrack, and a world full of many secrets to discover...

♦ Long ago, there was a great war that sparked against the forces of good and evil across the sacred land of Zypheria. Teras, the Great Demon Lord of Temptation, and Iris, the Guardian Angel of Zypheria, challenged and fought against each other for centuries until Iris had finally put Teras in his place, entrapping his soul in her sword and planting it atop the highest mountain in Zypheria, Mount Magma. Since then, peace had been restored to the land and its inhabitants worshipped Iris for her prowess and prosperity. Legends said that if anyone dared to seek out the sword and grasp the handle of its blade, Teras would absorb their soul and reawaken, bringing forth the apocalypse. The Zypherian military kept the sword locked away in case that legend was true.

Many years passed, and the sword, nicknamed "Necrostutter", continued to be kept well preserved by the Zypherian military in an old cathedral atop Mount Magma. Several societies had grown more technologically advanced than others. The city of Forzar, for example, had suspended themselves above the clouds in search for tranquility. Thyria had somehow constructed an underwater utopia that served as a powerhouse for the majority of Zypheria. Needless to say, the land had been living quite harmoniously.

That was, until a someone put the legend to the test...

In that instant, Teras reawakened and thunder struck across all of Zypheria. The sky faded to a dark violet, and storm clouds began to spiral around Mount Magma, pulling the life from the once-lush grasslands and forests of Zypheria. Teras, with the power he had been conserving for many years now, handpicked seven people from across the civilization to be his local subordinates, and shared a fraction of his power among them and sent them off to command their assigned areas. Teras then conjured an army of demons with everyone left over. There were only a few, however, who were somehow protected by a mysterious force...

♦ D. L. Binion (CardinalCoder64), a.k.a myself, is working solo on POWERLESS CHAOS (for now at least). I am the artist, composer, programmer, writer, and everything else in between. The idea of this project sprung up in my head when I was a young teen back in 2014. The concept has gone through so many changes since then, and I held back on making it public until I was in a position where I could regularly work on it. Now that I'm finally in that position, I'm eager to get working and deliver a finished product that everyone, including myself, can be satisfied with. 

Few things:
- There's no official deadline for the project yet as it is still in its early stages.
- I am currently working on a demo of the game.
- Updates/devlogs will be posted on here and on my Twitter page.
- For now the best way to support the project is to click follow and spread the word. I may consider a kickstarter if I notice that the game is getting enough attention...
