Awaken divine weapons, absorb elemental artifacts, and unleash devastating reactions as you descend into a cursed cycle of memory, power, and ritual.

You are trapped inside the Casket - a cursed sealing device forged to imprison the will of a fallen cult and its monstrous prophet. Every run forces you deeper into a cycle of memory, suffering, and rebirth - but also closer to mastery.

Death in Aksun is merely a part of a ritual and every victory peels back a layer of truth. Trapped inside the Seal of Aksun - a cursed prison born from shattered reincarnation - you’ll awaken lost weapons, absorb corrupted artifacts, and fight your way through a world that remembers your every attempt.

Aksun is launching its first public playtest on August 15, with signups open starting today.

The test build offers a hands-on look at its ritual-based combat, builds that evolve as you play, and the brutal cycle of death, memory, and rebirth.

What to Expect in the Playtest Build:

• Two fully playable chapters with boss fights
• Five elemental systems (Fire, Ice, Wind, Earth, Lightning) with chain-reaction synergies
• Eight Artifacts and two unique Weapon types
• Awakening and Echo systems for in-depth buildcraft
• Distorted realms filled with lore rooted in Korean spiritual beliefs

This is the first step in a growing ritual - and your feedback during the playtest will help shape the game’s future.

Aksun’s progression is built on the interaction of three core components:

• Weapons, bound to Hell Gods, define your combat identity and unlock powerful Awakening Skills.
• Artifacts, crystallized remnants of cult rituals, grant elemental effects, deployable summons, and active chaos.
• Echoes, synergy-based stat modifiers, tie everything together into unpredictable, layered builds.

Mastering the relationships between these three systems is key to surviving - and breaking - the cycle.

Each Artifact belongs to one of the Five Elements - Fire, Ice, Wind, Earth, or Lightning - and doesn’t just empower you in isolation. Combine them, and you’ll trigger destructive chain reactions: flame igniting storm, lightning crashing through molten stone.

Each chapter is a branching node map. After each stage, choose your next path and reward: strengthen your weapon with Resonance, gain a new Artifact Chime, unlock awakened passives, collect Echoes to shape your stats, or shop for high-risk upgrades. Every death resets your loadout, but each run teaches you more - unlocking smarter, deadlier combinations that evolve your build in unpredictable ways.

The entire game takes place inside a distorted echo of the Six Realms of Rebirth - a closed loop designed to punish those who rejected the cycle. The Mokdugi King, once a cult leader, is now its most broken prisoner.

Every design - from its mechanics to its symbols - is rooted in Korean myths, rituals, and spiritual beliefs: shamanism, elemental balance, divine punishment, and ancestral memory.

This isn’t just myth. It’s ritual, played in blood.

Aksun is in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for 2026.
