Torchspine Games

Torchspine Games is a one-person game studio. Its first project is The Captive Spire, a twin-stick action RPG in development for Windows and macOS.

The Captive Spire

The Captive Spire is a twin-stick action RPG about escaping a dungeon that rearranges itself with every climb. Choose one of three captives and fight through strange enemies, dense projectile patterns, and lower floors shrouded in luminous fog.

Pick a captive, learn their distinct combat style, and take the spire one tier at a time. Each run assembles a new route through torch-lit battlements, rising stairways, and dungeon chambers, while luminous fog gathers across the lower floors. Weave through dense projectile patterns, seize powerful temporary buffs, and fight your way upward toward freedom. Every run begins fresh, with no permanent upgrades to carry you.
