About the Game

ENCHAIN links hack & slash juggling and frenetic platforming with fast-paced retro FPS gunplay. Inspired by platform fighters and arena shooters, smash the undead into pieces with exhilarating velocity. And, with progression and verticality influenced by Dark Souls, tackle a single interconnected world chunk by chunk, retreading old paths and checkpoints with newfound technique.

You are the last corpse to ever rise from the petrified earth, dooming all creation to a ceaseless death. This underworld does not welcome you. Unlock the secrets of the crypt, take back life from your fleshless kindred, and fight your own way out of humanity's tomb.

Get lost in the chasm. No one will be holding your cold, hollow hands along the way.

  • Grapple, slide, kick, wall-run, and dive into dynamic expressive platforming.

  • Experiment to learn a full suite of movement techniques, and use them to your advantage to rise above the crypt.

  • Collect powerful weapons and bracelets, each with their own quirks and synergies to discover.

  • Unravel twisting routes in an intertwined, non-linear underworld that whispers its forgotten history across scattered item inscriptions.
