Greetings from El Rey
A noir 2.5D platformer in which a paranoid detective explores a sealed city through a rotating 2D perspective, engaged in an obsessive hunt for the mysterious R.
Explore an intricate three-dimensional labyrinth, solve spatial puzzles and master challenging sections, adapting classic platforming mechanics with world rotation. Confront bosses that warp the world outside the playfield, where your weapons are movement, timing and spatial awareness.
A singular, diegetic external layout that interacts with gameplay and story, providing context and meaning to every player action.
El Rey has two rules. Entry demands a high price. Once inside, you never get out.
Here Satrapo pursues R., a phantom shaped by discordant stories, navigating eccentric figures, erratic prophecies and above all, a city built on lies.
Greetings from El Rey is a paranoid tale about desire, always shifting and reshaping the protagonist’s point of view. It is a psychedelic noir questioning the very possibility of meaning and what it costs to keep looking for it.
