About the Game

In a tightly packed hand-crafted map with two square kilometers of vertically interconnected sprawling caverns filled with branching paths to explore at your leisure, as well as over fifteen smaller areas accessible from the main map - each meticulously crafted and filled with collectables, enemies and quests.

Leveling, equipment, collectibles, consumables. Start with a rusty sword, wooden spear and scrappy plank shield. Replace them with powerful artifacts hidden deep in the caves. Grow stronger as you collect lord shards, and conquer the dark expanse.

Numerous combat options are available to the player. Pick and choose between a spear, sword/shield combo and the Boomslang powder rifle. Wear the skin of your enemies after dispatching them. Many of the fifteen enemy types can drop their own limbs as wearable armor pieces, as well as unique consumable items.

Sign away your soul to a primordial demon and do its bidding. Your main quest has non-linear objectives, as well as two possible endings. Tackle your tasks in any order you see fit as you explore. Neglect your duties entirely and focus on trivial side-questing, if you so desire. I’m sure Talurbas wont mind.

Interact with an ensemble of unique characters. Many interesting figures lurk in these dark lands. Should you stumble into them on your journey, they might be willing to share some words – or ask for a favor.

The rich, claustrophobic soundscape delivered by over an hour of original soundtrack will have you reeling with anxiety as you explore the caverns of Borros.
