About Styx and Bones

Shift between The Living World and The Dead World and explore the forgotten catacombs!

Styx and Bones is a short Action-RPG where you play as Theodore, a graveyard keeper who let some thieves break into the Catacombs under the graveyard. After confronting them and dying, he is revived by the Goddess Styx, who tells him that if they can recover the artifacts they stole, he can be revived.

The Goddess Styx gives him a special "idol" of herself that allows him to shift between two worlds! Between the worlds things change, sometimes a little, and sometimes a lot! Appearances, mechanics and enemy behaviors can differ between worlds, forcing Theodore to use his control of the current world to his advantage if he wishes to escape!
