Features
World
Explore the handcrafted, interconnected world of Anfransone. Discover over 8 surreal and deadly areas, including crumbling cities, bleak snowscapes, and eldritch asylums. Anfransone is full of branching paths, so exploration is in the hands of the player!
Combat
In The Milliner, combat is movement. Each shot from your weapon knocks you backward, which can be used as a pseudo double jump! Enemies punish poor movement and positioning, so knowing where and when to move is key.
Movement
Movement in The Milliner is expressive and free-flowing. As you acquire new abilities, your moveset quickly snowballs into a powerful kit that can be used to cross entire rooms without ever touching the floor. Mastering the movement and learning its intricacies is a core part of the Milliner experience.
Bossfights
Over a dozen bosses are ready to challenge your skills. Bosses are tough, but fair: no RNG-dependent attacks, no unnecessary contact damage, and no minions to get in your way. Bosses test your skill, not your luck!
Equipment
An arsenal of guns and sidearms are at your disposal. Mix and match different guns and sidearms to create your ideal play style. Flamethrowers, snipers, hammers and lasers, there’s dozens of weapons and even more combinations to pick from!
