THE CRUEL MOTHER

THE CRUEL MOTHER is an in-development voxel survival horror game.

survive alone or with friends in online against the great unknown...

a deer galloping around. it's procedurally animated

this is the first song i made for the game:

all of the songs in the cruel mother are MIDI rather than your standard .mp3 or .ogg - the music is synthesized in real time by the engine.

this is an older screenshot from before i decided to pixelate everything:

the cruel mother is being developed in a custom engine built with the rust programming language and opengl.

i have been developing the game as a solo project in my free time since october 2024. it is currently in a sort of pre-alpha stage.

my plan is to release a public, free to play beta hopefully by the end of 2026. after that, a complete release version will eventually be put on steam.

i post weekly updates in the blog section. i'm not currently posting on any social media platforms, though i do have an inactive bluesky:
