Plot

Gameplay

Action horror platformer about a treasure hunter trapped in the cursed mine pits of a remote island, forced to descend deeper into an ancient underground labyrinth to escape the horrors lurking in the dark. Playtime is around 2 hours.

Base mechanics: Platformer with shooting, chasing, simple quests, sometimes with stealth, and collecting.

Short, simple story of episode 1 that intro to long chains of trips of the main hero. Main storyline of EP-1 thats find a way out of the trap where the main hero becomes. Continuation of that story will be in the next episodes with new mechanics and locations.

Explore collapsing tunnels, forgotten shafts and underground temples as you search for a way out. Every step takes you further into a maze filled with deadly traps, unstable floors and things that hunt by sound and movement.
