The Gloamwound: Cosmic-Horror Dark-Fantasy Assets — RPG Maker

THE GLOAMWOUND - an eldritch dark-fantasy pixel bundle for RPG Maker MZ

A once-golden realm rotted from within, pierced by a wound that bleeds cosmic horror. The Gloamwound blends decayed dark-fantasy grandeur with Lovecraftian dread: cursed pilgrims, fallen holy knights, eldritch cults, tentacled horrors, and rotting cathedrals drowning in fog - one cohesive pixel-art style, ready for RPG Maker MZ.

WHAT'S INSIDE

- Characters - 3x4 walk sheets: Ashbound Pilgrim, Hollow Knight, Golden Vigil Knight, Hollow Choir Cultist, Marrow Court Noble, and Cinder-Seer, plus dialogue face portraits.

- Creatures - overworld enemy walk sheets: Fenspawn (deep-ones), Gloamspawn (tentacle crawlers), Hollow Hounds, Gaunts (fliers), and Choirling swarms.

- Bosses - detailed front-view battlers: the Rotcrowned King, the Weeping Mother, the Antlered Saint, and the Churn.

- Buildings - full kit sheets: Rotgold Cathedral-Castle, Drowned Fen Village, Hollow Choir Sanctum, and Blighted Ruins (hero structure + modular parts + props).

- Seamless terrain - 5 hand-tuned, truly seamless tileable textures: cathedral rot-gold floor, fungal blight, fen water, bone-and-ash, and ichor pool. Import-ready, no seams.

- Misc - an eldritch props kit, a relic/item icon set, and an original checkpoint-shrine marker.
