Before the sixth bell tolls, carve a path through the curse.

THE SIXTH BELL is a gothic, 16-bit-style action platformer starring a whip-wielding huntress. Cross haunted grounds, fight through a cathedral of embers and climb toward the Bell Throne in six atmospheric chapters.

  • Break candles, collect hearts, seek secrets and reach bell checkpoints.
  • Face bosses across Mourning Grounds, Cathedral of Embers, Unbound Scriptorium, Hollow Crypt, Howling Spire and Bell Throne.
  • Unlock chapters as you progress, with saved chapter access and touch controls for mobile play.
