About the Game

Overview

Delve into the depths of a supernatural temple, unearth forbidden lore, and outwit cosmic horrors in a narrative-rich journey where each level blends classic Lovecraftian themes with the secrets of Chinese mythology.

A Union of Myth and Void

Explore a massive subterranean complex where the embers of lingering rites whisper of eldritch presences; where bronze doors dusted with incense ash guard mind-warping truths; and where orderly ancestral halls collapse into alien geometry the deeper you descend. 

You did not choose this. A voice below beckons. Irresistibly. Inexorably.  

Courting Peril at Every Turn

Unremarkable and utterly inconsequential, you are never meant to stand your ground against the temple’s denizens. Study their patterns and slip past them unseen, divert them with lures, or draw them into makeshift traps. Do everything within your power to navigate this impossible structure toward the foundation, where the source of the voice awaits. 

Decipher the Temple’s Secrets

The entities haunting these halls are not your only obstacles. Sealed passages, occult contrivances, and riddles steeped in forgotten lore impede your descent. Trespass upon truths never meant to be understood and risk what such knowledge may awaken.
