Lament Mission statement draft

In Lament, we seek to engage players in an emotionally profound journey through a world where grief is both a formidable challenge and a pivotal motivator. Our objective is to develop an action-oriented, rogue-like experience that tests player skills and delves into the significant effects of loss and the resilience required to transcend it through dynamic gameplay, intricate narrative storytelling, and an environment shaped by sorrow. Lament endeavours to provide players with a powerful affirmation that strength can emerge even from our most challenging moments. As players navigate the tumultuous landscape, the ultimate goal is to achieve survival, healing, and the discovery of hope in the wake of adversity. This enduring theme is prominently featured in the narrative of Lament.
