In You Won't Take Her Away from My Side, a son embarks on a harrowing journey to rescue his mother, trapped in the clutches of an evil force. The malevolent entity, known as the Widow, has ensnared her spirit and twisted her into a grotesque form. The son must navigate through an ever-changing, deadly labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and supernatural horrors in his desperate attempt to save her. As the pursuit intensifies, the Widow’s influence grows stronger, and the son must gather tools, power, and secrets to confront her terrifying wrath. Will he be able to purify his mother’s soul and restore her to the light, or will he fall victim to the horrors that await in the depths of the dungeon?
Gameplay Features:
Procedurally Generated Dungeons:
Each time you embark on your journey, the environment shifts and reorganizes itself. The labyrinth is unpredictable, ensuring that no two runs are the same. This constant variation keeps the experience fresh and challenging, requiring you to adapt to new layouts, enemies, and obstacles with each attempt.
Collection and Survival Horror Elements:
Throughout the dungeon, you’ll find a variety of items and relics that help you survive the Widow’s growing influence. These objects range from powerful weapons to mystical artifacts, each playing a crucial role in your quest. However, the deeper you go, the more dangerous the environment becomes, pushing you to balance resource management and strategy.
Unlockable Gear and Cosmetics:
As you progress through multiple attempts, you’ll earn points that can be used to unlock a wide array of tools, weapons, and visual cosmetics. Whether it's new armor to help you withstand the Widow's attacks or unique skins to change your character's appearance, these unlockables provide a sense of accomplishment and customization.
Gameplay Mechanics:
Survival in the Maze:
The labyrinth isn’t just a simple dungeon—it’s a living entity that evolves as you explore it. Each floor offers new challenges, requiring you to be resourceful, cautious, and tactical. The more you progress, the harder the environment becomes, with new enemies, traps, and escalating pressure from the Widow’s pursuit.
Purification System and Consequences:
The ultimate goal is to purify your mother’s spirit from the Widow’s grasp. However, every action you take has its consequences. Successful purification will grant you rewards, but failure may lead to more sinister outcomes. The game's multiple endings provide players with varied experiences based on how they handle the Widow’s power and the spirit’s redemption.
H-Scenes Unlockable through Progress:
As you either succeed or fail in your attempts to overcome the Widow, the game offers unlocked content in the form of H-scenes, which can be accessed after key story moments. Players can choose to purify the Widow’s spirit, leading to specific scenes, or experience other narrative twists when they lose to her in battle. Additionally, the Freemode option allows you to view these scenes in a controlled, non-gameplay environment, giving you the freedom to explore without the pressure of combat.
Game Tips:
Adapt to Each Run:
Since the dungeon is procedurally generated, don’t rely on previous knowledge to guide you. Every layout is different, and enemies can appear in unexpected locations. Learn to adapt to the environment and plan your route accordingly to ensure survival and progress.
Collect and Conserve Resources Wisely:
Resources such as health potions, weapons, and mystical artifacts are limited in supply. Use them wisely—especially in the early stages of your run. Don’t waste precious resources on minor encounters, but save them for when you need them most: during the Widow’s pursuit or during the final confrontations.
Unlock Hidden Content and Achievements:
Repeatedly engaging with the dungeon will unlock new gear, cosmetics, and H-scenes that add to the depth of the experience. Explore every corner of the maze to discover hidden items and achievements, and keep an eye out for special challenges that unlock exclusive content.
