WOBLO

WOBLO: The Druid's Downfall

WOBLO is a retro-inspired first-person shooter built on a custom 3D engine, designed to capture the spirit of 90s DOS-era FPS games while introducing its own atmosphere and systems.

This demo presents the first three levels of Episode I and serves as a polished gameplay showcase of the core mechanics, combat flow, rune system and level design philosophy behind the project.

The game combines classic key-hunting progression, hidden secrets, vertical level structures and fast-paced combat with a distinct swamp-druid aesthetic and light narrative layer delivered through in-game messages and NPC dialogue.

WOBLO is developed from the ground up using a proprietary engine focused on:

• multi-level maps (stairs, verticality, layered geometry)

• sector-based combat spaces

• custom AI behavior and FOV system

• rune-based temporary power mechanics

• integrated level editor tools

• retro-styled rendering with modern stability

Demo Content

• 3 complete playable levels

• 3 weapons

• 3 rune abilities (heal / power / speed + mana restore)

• Multiple enemy types including a boss encounter

• Secrets and push-wall mechanics

• End-of-level statistics screen

• In-game narrative messages and NPC guidance

The demo represents a stable gameplay experience and will receive incremental polish updates.
