Garenburg Penitence: The Riflebird

Sale Notice

The game is currently available on Steam, and a DRM-free version will be added to Itch at a later time due to focus on updating and fixing bugs on the Steam version.

While this page does contain a demo for the game, the demo is outdated by three years and has bugs and lacking QOL; please consider the full game instead!

Garenburg Penitence is an action-puzzle arcade game and visual novel about matching sphere colors and exploring the collapsing psyche that destroyed the world.

With over 70 unique level maps, additional game modes, a level editor, and a tragic tale spanning across eight databases, learn the story of a fragile girl and her regretful actions.

If everything has a cost, then how much would it be to make the world a better place?

This game relies on color matching and has fast movement and imagery. While some fast visual effects can be toggled off, distinguishing colors apart from each other is a key component of gameplay. There are multiple accessibility options for custom colors and other settings to help aid in this, but please keep this in mind if you have colorblindness.
