Imago
SteamSURVIVE THE STORM
Imago is a rogue-like 3D platformer. You are caught is a vicious blizzard. To escape, you must harness the power of bugs.

EVOLVE YOUR ABILITIES
Your bugs start out weak. To grow them stronger, you must 'cocoon' them. But doing so will render them useless as they undergo metamorphosis. Can you afford to forfeit your bug's abilities? If you do, you will be rewarded.

VARIETY IN MOVEMENT
There are a wide range of bug abilities, each granting you a unique way to traverse the levels. Some combinations work better than others. Experiment and find the perfect set of bugs for the situation.

IMPROVISE
The winter is harsh and your bugs will die. You will need to plan ahead to ensure you are never empty-handed. Cycle through bugs as you stumble upon them, or attempt to keep them alive with special herbs.

DANGEROUS OBSTACLES
Levels are full of obstacles and danger. You need to move quickly to escape the blizzard, but you must also watch where you step and plan your path.

PREPARE AND PLAN AHEAD
Gain enough time to start metamorphosis and reach the imago stage. The procedural levels grow more treacherous. Survey your path, plan ahead, and foster your bugs so you can survive the terrain and escape the blizzard. Time is precious. Spend it wisely.
