Vergilius
A downloadable game
A short e̶x̶p̶e̶r̶i̶m̶e̶n̶t̶a̶l̶ walking simulator.
Made mostly as a fun graphics test.
Hot searing pain gives way to intense flashes of red and black. Falling through a sea of blood surrounded by the howling voices of the past, you begin to panic. Then suddenly you hit something, hard but painless, and your vision blurs and fades. Hours, or days pass until you awaken somewhere strange…
Uses typical FPS Controls, along with controller support.

omg I realised today you're the Kira from Lunacid
mind bend & blown, thank you for your work
Side note: your fonts are awesome 🧐
Really Beautiful atmospheric walking experiment, I hope to play these types of games soon. I wished if the game was longer.
Made a gameplay video
This game could have been an hour long and I would have enjoyed it.
My Playthough (starts at 14:24):
Really nice atmosphere, but I do not like the simulated movie picture, dust and streaks. Can you add an option to turn this off?
Slightly different from L.i.V, especially length wise, Vergilius is an eye pleasing game; (those clouds made my jaw drop). You are set in the shoes of the afore-mentioned character Virgilius, who accompanied Dante in his journey through hell. Virgil is now in a journey of his own, and Kira made an amazing job at convening an empty, vast landscape. Absolute recommendation of a game, and it runs perfectly on Steam Deck.

Lindão o jogo. òtima atmosfera
Those clouds look so fricking amazing
This is the most beautifully haunting thing I have ever seen.
Great scenery, for sure.
Not sure why the red works so well, probably a mix of infernal-red and Dante's outfit?
Neat atmosphere :D
Amazing. I hope you have plans to make this a full game, i'd kickstart it.
I ve loved the concept and the music congratulations!, may i ask please how have you made the Sky look so beautiful?
Im a simple man, this is really all i need from a game
Graphics, writing, sound, music - all amazingly atmospheric
Love it!
i havent even played it
Loved this. Wish there was more like it.
Really good experience. The scale felt very real despite the low graphical fidelity, and it for some reason, it really resonated with me. Needs a credits button maybe, since playing through is the same each time.
but... what is the black sphere audio? why put something like this in game
again, really cool experience.
berried delight 👍
hi the game was simple and fun ,great work i made new game (bvb-guess ) too if want check my game and tell any bug or new things that i can add to it ,thank you
it's a masterpiece! I never saw something like this before!
You proved that even with a basic FPS movement as a mechanic a lot can be achieved with music and good use of colors. Wonderful!
Really cool. Could you provide any insights on how you achieved the look and atmosphere? (From a technical aspect).
Beautiful.
Very cool. especially loved the music and the forest of clouds. the font and narration style made me think of those old silent horror movies like vampyr. very nice work.
I feel like this could have been, at least slightly, inspired by Gustave Diore's illustrations of Dante's Inferno. Love the art, love the atmosphere. Would be a really cool setting for a fast-paced melee-based combat game.
Or an RPG! :)
Quite a depressing game, but I love the visuals, sound, and message to it. This kind of hellscape is one of my favorite environments to conceptualize, so it is just a pleasure to see one here. It makes me think about the afterlife.
