About the Game

Gilgamesh and the Tree of Life is a 3D action platformer where you take control of the legendary titular hero and his feisty canine-like companion Enkidu. The pair must defend the many cities and tribes of Beth Nahrain from undead demons and divine beings as they try to find the scattered Leaves of the Tree of Life. Platform and fight your way through unique levels—each inspired by Mesopotamian history and mythology—in this love letter to the classics of the 3D platformer genre.
