ABOUT

VIVIDBLUE LTD’s vision is to build narratives around BIPOC main characters and the rich stories of who they are, the colours, struggles and triumphs of their journeys, and the redemptive impact they have on themselves and others.

By tying these themes to game mechanics, exploring divergent styles of character action gameplay, expanding the potential influence of partner NPCs, and building out soundscapes with deep cultural fusions, our goal is to make rich game worlds that reflect the worlds we live and the worlds we want.

THE LATEST


In which our witch moves at fever pitch


VIVIDBLUE LTD’s first game is Duskwitch: Heroic Soul, a character action game where the main character, Rutie, is a light skinned Black witch with a kick-ass redemption story.

Rutie takes us on a journey of restorative justice...taking responsibility for her part in causing the apocalypse, tackling powerful systems run by a secret few, and emancipating herself from both as she strides straight into her purpose as a freedom fighter for lost soul survivors of injustice.

As the Duskwitch, Rutie is intentional with every shot from her weapon, using soul-bullets to fight her enemies, using them to heal her targets of their negative karma, and ultimately breathing life and love back into the world.

Duskwitch invites players to make choices of consequence through Rutie and her cast of characters. Could her choices rehabilitate both lost souls and enemies? Could these empower the other characters in her midst?

Come check out the divergent styles of character action gameplay and go deep into the contradictions of who we are and how we relate to each other... Where you’re not simply destroying your enemies, but where each character has their own unique fighting form that tells their personal story.

With music, beats, physicality, sensuality, history, and cultural styles as our battle gear and mechanics, Duskwitch: Heroic Soul is anime as hell … but from worlds that bring the cultural richness of real life beyond fantasy.

Features

  • Combo-focused character action for expressive player combat!
  • Fluid anime-inspired animation!
  • A world of reclamation and reflection inspired by Afrofuturism!
