Retro games with soul, built with passion

Games

Roguelike

Explore procedurally generated dungeons full of hidden treasures, traps and puzzles. Made from hand-built rooms to ensure a fun playing experience and interesting discoveries.

Challenging bosses

The demo will have two different boss fights, one at the end of each biome. The full game will feature plenty more. Each boss has their own patterns and special attacks to learn.

Different biomes

Explore lots of varied biomes with different enemies, traps, secrets and bosses to find. You start in the ruined city, journey onwards to the coral reef and to the Leviathan depths. As you get deeper, the environment and enemies will get progressively more corrupted.

Upgrades

Each time you find or buy an upgrade item, you are offered the choice of 3 different upgrades of different rarities. Choose wisely and build cool new synergies. Some upgrades are cursed and require you to sacrifice in order to gain their powerful abilities.

Potions & items

Find and buy consumable items like potions that will change the way your character or the enemies behave for a limited time. Use this advantage to get the upper hand in difficult encounters or boss fights. Want to have your crystals set enemies ablaze with magical fire? Slow down time to plan your actions strategically?

Multiple characters

By unlocking achievements, you gain access to new starting charaters. They come with different items and upgrades and offer a new way to experience the game and build synergies based on their starting gear.

Difficulty modifiers

The game allows you to adjust the difficulty to your skill by offering you new challenges once you've mastered the basics. This comes with increased rewards, but lots of additional peril as well.

Unlockable skins

You can purchase visual customizations using the emeralds you find in chests or for completing hard challenges and puzzles.

Level editor

Create your own challenges and custom rooms using the included level editor. Send us your coolest builds and we might feature them in a future update!

Dangerous enemies and traps

Fight through hordes of enemies, each with their own strategies and weaknesses. Avoid tricky traps placed by the builders of the ruined ancient city you're exploring.
