About the Game

The Game

Atan is an action-adventure game where you traverse a massive colossus. Use your climbing skills together with your bow and anchors to journey over the massive giant. But beware, because this rough terrain contains many challenges, for the colossus itself is still alive and in need of your help.

The Story

There exists an ancient, colossal creature, who holds up the sky. Living on this giant’s back is an unassuming child, who is about to embark on the journey of a lifetime. Travel up the colossus, traverse various challenges and dangerous obstacles, and meet various inhabitants of the colossus.
