About Hail the Devourer

Welcome Initiate. Your job is simple. Destroy cities. Harvest chaos. Summon an incomprehensible cosmic entity to swallow all of existence and end everything as we know it. We operate remotely, so you're working from home. It's less of a policy and more of a structural integrity issue. Point your mouse at buildings and reduce them to rubble. You'll pick it up fast. Every demolished structure is another bite-sized offering for the Great Devourer we call Dad. Once the buffet's big enough, he'll show up and handle the rest. Some people call that cosmic horror. We call it space magic. Same thing, better branding. Get to work. Destroy Cities & Harvest the Chaos Wield unimaginable cosmic powers (and your mouse) to demolish ever-expanding cityscapes across 40 levels of escalating carnage. As you feed the Great Devourer with the Chaos of your rampage, you will be blessed with Tokens and the honor of taking on greater challenges. Be sure to use those tokens wisely because as the cities get bigger the buildings get tougher. Upgrade Your Abilities & Wield Powerful Relics Do what any red-blooded cultist would do. Turn destruction into profit. Spend Tokens in the shop on permanent upgrades, powerful Boons , and special Relics that make each night of devastation more lucrative than the last. Recharge your Relics between runs and watch your power compound like interest on a really evil savings account. Unlock Elemental Status Effects Wield the power of Relics, ancient artifacts granting abilities that turn you from a humble cultist into a walking apocalypse. Are those dusty old relics not enough power for you? Choose a Relic you want to make permanent and sacrifice the unworthy ones to the Void. Think of it as a terrible gift exchange...with an eldritch horror. Still thirsty for power? Can't wait for the big guy to show up? Unlock his lesser gods, each packing elemental status effects, spectacular special attacks, and valuable currencies of their own. Finish the Ritual & Summon The Devourer As the gaping maw of the nameless terror closes around the earth, you realize summoning it was never really about a higher calling or material wealth. You might've just been bored, and following a crowd is easy.
