About the Game

Story overview:

One dark night a child loses its dog. The next morning this child finds out that the dog has died. In grief over its animal companion's death the child ventures down to Necros, realm of the underworld, to find its dog and take it home again. On the childs adventure through the seven layers of Necros, it will meet cool friends, like the soulless robot Wacky, and fight bad guys, like the mean Dante.

Will the child find its dog? or will the dark forces who also lurk in the underworld take their chance to rise to power? It's all in your hands! Or more like in your controller, or keyboard depending on what you use.

Gravebond is a humorous, story focused experience that explores themes such as life, death, loss and meaning.
