A first person adventure game with light platforming elements. On an island, somewhere in the ocean, a powerful creature has been captured but is slowly gaining power. It sends it's minions across the island to spread it's influence, one such location being the old village crypt, where you awaken.
A single player first person adventure game with platforming elements.
Use your magic mace to zap and bludgeon your way through enemies, corrupted to take over the island.
Move through dangerous terrain that threatens your life at every opportunity.
Watch as the island slowly gets more and more corrupted.
Find the secret to defeating the creature and removing it's influence.
Travel through this linear game level by level, centralised around a village.
- Each level contains light platforming elements, short jumping puzzles and timed jumps with extra obstacles.
- You will fight different creatures related to the creature under the island, each creature has different attacks,
health, damage and animations that may affect the way you fight and they appear in different combinations.
- Some levels may end with boss fights, dangerous enemies that can only be defeated in certain ways.
- Levels will contain different puzzles that include activating magic crystals, pressing buttons, finding keys and more.
- Throughout the game is a pseudo Lovecraftian story that slowly takes control over the island and which builds over time.
On the island sits a village that keeps a horrible creature in a prison,
The people of the village are mostly unaware of the methods used to keep it at bay,
As the knowledge leaves the village, the creatures gets stronger and stronger,
If the creature were to escape it's prison the village on top would surely be destroyed.
A minion of the creature under iron foolishly tries to corrupt a the local crypt,
in doing so it awakes a failsafe should the creature get too powerful,
inside you sleep waiting for any disturbance,
as you awake so does the crypt.
Unbeknownst to the evil on the island.
The creature has set in motion it's own downfall.
