Play as young Elizabeth in this indie metroidvania, navigating unknown lands to collect three magic stones. These stones free her exorcist father from the spiritual world after his apparition at her tomb reveals his imprisonment rather than death. She gains powers through her journey, including fireball attacks laced with lightning, while one-click strikes hit nearby enemies and held attacks trigger slow motion for precise targeting or evasion.
The game spans three stages and over 20 levels, with escalating difficulties that demand close attention to details. Combat culminates in a tough final boss fight limited to three lives. Fans of precise platforming and story-driven challenges will find a focused adventure here.
Bitter Belief is a small metroidvania that takes the player in the guise of young Elizabeth, to experience a story of twists, through unknown lands, where the objective is to find three magic stones to release her exorcist father, from the spiritual world, after he appeared to her while she was visiting her tomb and told him that he is not dead, but is imprisoned.
Elizabeth will gain powers depending on her journey, and this will dictate her evolution. When attacking, she will gain a form of fireball with lightning. Attacking enemies is done with just one click if enemy is within your reach, but if you hold down the attack key/button, you can leave the time in slow motion for a few seconds, enough time to choose the target by the arrow, give up the attack, or even use this mechanic to escape from colliding with some danger, thus choosing to attack the nearest enemy.

Team message.
The game is made by a young man of 23 years, who since he was little always wanted to develop his own game, after spending a lot of his childhood and adolescence playing NES, SEGA MEGA DRIVE, AND PlayStation. Always liked platform games. And then in 2016 he met someone who introduced him to this world, even though he didn't have a computer. A year later he got one from his father, and applied himself in the 3D world, the first projects didn't even reach the middle because the other members of the group he was part of, didn't apply. But he kept persisting, until in 2020 he decided, with the lack of financial resources, to use templates to help him understand the engine more and shorten the development time, because he was growing and didn't even have a source of income. , and knew he could gain something from what he loves to do. So, in September 2022 he finally manages to finish a project, which is this, the Bitter Belief. So he called two more friends, one who lives in France, to help him with the distribution on Steam, and another to help him fill out the game's page and make the Build with a minimum margin of errors. So, we hope you enjoy and enjoy our game a lot, and are free to criticize as long as there is respect.
