First-person slasher Lichenvale out now from ex-Ubisoft dev

Inspired a fair bit by some classics from the 90s like Hexen and Heretic, Lichenvale is a first-person slasher out now. This is the first solo release from developer Filip Zemljak, who was previously a Gameplay Programmer at Ubisoft and it comes with Native Linux support (works on Steam Deck too).

"Lichenvale is a first person slasher offering fast-paced melee combat mixed with tactical use of spells and dashing around your enemies developed by ex-Ubisoft employee gone solo dev. Finding yourself trapped in your own nightmares you must battle through nightmarish hordes of monsters representing your innermost fears. Successfully slashing your way out with your trusty longsword will fuel an array of destructive and defensive spells that you can unleash and wreak havoc on your enemies all while dashing or parrying enemy attacks."
