The game

One night. One city. Nobody is coming.

Mercifall is a survival-horror beat ’em up set over the one night a city was written off. Fight your way from a failed police cordon to the sealed facility beneath the streets, uncover who engineered the outbreak, and carry the proof out before the people burying it bury you.

Cole lands a punch in a burst of sparks as the dead close in on a rain-soaked street.

Combat

Fists first. Bullets last.

Brawl through crowds of the dead with whatever you can grab, and save your ammo for when it counts.

The dead walk past an abandoned police cruiser, its door hanging open, on a flooded avenue.

Survival

Wounds don’t wait.

Get bitten and part of the damage keeps draining away, until you treat it or lose it for good.

An empty, rain-soaked Crossfall Avenue under neon signs, with a lone figure far down the street.

Conspiracy

Someone let this city die.

Follow the evidence and find out who engineered the outbreak.

A hulking figure looms out of the rain over Cole and Nia as the dead surround them.

The hunt

Something was sent for you.

The dead are not the worst thing hunting you.

Two leads, one night

Cole Mercer & Nia Vargas

Officer Cole Mercer on his radio beside his cruiser in the rain.

The insider

Cole Mercer

A rookie MFPD officer on his first real night shift. He starts the night believing the badge means order, and that command will regain control.

Plays as the bruiser: heavier hits, a three-hit string, and a running knee that turns a wall of the dead into breathing room.

Nia Vargas on her motorcycle at a closed road in the rain.

The outsider

Nia Vargas

A night courier who knows Mercifall's service roads, freight routes, and back doors. She drives into the city while everyone else is leaving, because her sister is not answering.

Plays fast: quicker on her feet, with a four-hit string and the Flashkick.

Cole Mercer and Nia Vargas face a horde and a hulking figure on Crossfall Avenue in the rain.

Read the prologue

It was never a riot.

Two points of view, one night. Cole answers a riot call downtown while Nia takes the back roads in to find her sister. The prologue comic follows both of them through the night it began.
