A Horrible Labyrinth of Wood and Upholstery

You came to this place, on a day like any other, to find some new furniture.

But the walls have closed in, all signs of human life are gone, and cursed wooden creatures now walk these halls.

You don't know what happened. But you do know you cannot stay here. Can you escape alive? Or will your bones be ground into cushion filler?

Furniture: Screws and Blood is a thrilling realtime survival horror roguelike adventure where you will do battle with possessed chairs, eldritch lamps, the undying Sofa of Eternity, and more.

Features

• Descend through 8 procedurally generated furniture store display floors.
• Face 8 terrifying classes of foes who want to devour your soul.
• Find keys to unlock doors.
• Get annoyed and blow the doors up with bombs instead.
• Blow yourself up with the bombs by accident.
• Scary documents with secrets nobody should know.

How to Play

• Move around with the arrow keys, wasd keys, mouse clicks, or touchscreen.
• Walk into most things to interact with them.
• Use the buttons to open and manage your inventory, to read documents, and to descend stairs to the next floor.
• Keyboard players can also use "i" to open inventory, "r" to read, and "g" to get items, and ">" to descend stairs.
• Tip: not all battles need to be fought. And if they must be fought, sometimes hit and run tactics will serve you best. Be brave, but only those with self preservation will make it out alive.

Bestiary

- Possessed chair. Short days ago, you were sitting on these guys, nice and cozy. Now they want to sit on you instead. Watch out! Common, not too tough, but dangerous in numbers.

- The Sofa of Eternity. An unstoppable, undying hunter, who will pursue you until the ends of the Earth. Run, don't walk. Keep your distance, and don't get cornered!

- A perfectly normal lamp.

- Possessed computer chair. Like the regular chair, but on wheels! They are much faster, but can be pushed around. Use this to your advantage!

- Unsupported bookshelf, the furniture stores most popular item, found in many houses. Nobody actually uses the things to attach them to the wall, do they? They breath fire now.

- Hexed Key. This convenient tool for assembling your furniture or doing minor repairs has sprouted legs, and does all that convenient repair work autonomously now. A miracle of modern furniture technology, but inconvenient when the furniture is haunted.

- Wrong TV. It's on the wrong channel. This TV is an unreasonably large, really old CRT model from the 90s. Hits like a dump truck, but you can barely move the damn thing, nor is it particularly good at moving itself.

???? - The Guardian of the Exit. Who even is this guy? Probably a nobody, don't worry about it.
