No Mercy is a story-driven brawler where four strangers — Elliot, Ray, Belle, and Orion — must come together to save a forest under attack by an ancient evil known as The Corruption. Each character brings their powers, weapons, and backstory, and only by working together can they hope to survive. Along the way, you’ll face enemies, uncover secrets, and meet a strange, fourth-wall-breaking bird-person named Kevin.

About No Mercy

Set in a vibrant, mysterious forest, No Mercy is more than just an action game- it’s a journey about love, trust, sacrifice, and unexpected friendship. Think of it as Castle Crashers meets Journey, Braid, and The Stanley Parable. The gameplay is fast and fun, but the story digs deep, exploring what happens when people with everything to lose are thrown into something much bigger than themselves.
