About the Game

Eat Or Keep is a metroidvania rogue-lite where every decision matters.

Discover the story of Era, a young exile determined to understand why her city collapsed. One single hope drives her forward: to one day allow her people to return and live there again.

The Turning Point :

The city was built upon the mastery of magic through technology. When the energy source that powered it exploded, everything changed.

The inhabitants fled. The structures remained.

Unstable machines, torn-apart districts, creatures shaped by omnipresent energy — the city is no longer a refuge, but a hostile territory you must cross, sometimes repair, and above all, confront.

No Two Expeditions Are the Same :

With every attempt, you will find items capable of modifying your abilities, altering your stats, transforming your attacks, or reshaping your mobility.

Some items combine, creating powerful synergies that can completely change the way you approach the world.

At the Heart of Every Expedition: A Constant Dilemma

Consume an item to gain immediate power or keep it to secure your survival and prepare for what lies ahead?

Every Choice Shapes Your Progress :

As you explore, you will encounter a cast of colorful characters who have come here for their own reasons. Rescuing them unlocks new possibilities but in a world where every resource is precious, their presence also becomes a constant responsibility.

Will You Find the Right Solution?

Will you reach the source of magic and more importantly, will you be able to control it?

Or will you, too, be consumed by it?
