About the Game

You're Ed Lasso, world-renowned adventurer and rootin'-tootin' cowboy with a lasso that never misses and a thirst for trouble that never quits. When whispers of the Lazarus Stone, a relic said to pack the raw punch of forgotten gods, reach your ears, you saddle up and charge straight into the Temple of Shadows, a sprawling, trap-riddled labyrinth buried beneath forgotten jungles.

Deep within this forgotten labyrinth of crumbling platforms, lethal traps, and shifting shadows, mysterious glowing sacks of golden dust are scattered across the ruins. Collect them all to awaken the Lazarus Stone and claim its legendary power. Master new abilities as you find the power-up relics: Dash across chasms, Glide with your lasso, soar with triple jumps, blast through walls with bombs, scale sheer cliffs, swim through flooded chambers, and more.

With 190 hand crafted rooms, you explore a vast, interconnected temple filled with secrets, hidden paths, and one very strange tentacle-dwelling cowboy who’s a little too happy about his situation.  

Dodge enemies, solve environmental puzzles, and chain your growing moveset in true Metroidvania style as you unravel the temple’s deadly mysteries.

Will you claim the Rune… or become another ghost in the shadows?
