About the Game

Welcome to Gartvaria, a faraway land ravaged by a horrible corruption that hails from an evil moon that hangs in the sky. You are Igor, a mystical creation of the Good Doctor, tasked with freeing the land from its blight.

Inspired by timeless Gothic classics like Dracula, Frankenstein, and the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Homunculus weaves these influences together with modern gaming inspirations such as Dark Souls, Hollow Knight, and Ultrakill. The result is an alchemical fusion that will leave you fully immersed in the world of Gartvaria. 

Features :

  • Varied Upgrades - Health, Damage and Weapon Upgrades give you new avenues to attack and traverse the world!

  • Combat and Platforming - Fight your way through Gartvaria whilst navigating its hostile terrain.

  • Secrets - Gartvaria is teeming with hidden treasure, and hidden horrors! Be careful!

  • Nonlinear Progression -  Progress through the varied zones of Gartvaria in any order, from forests to castles! 

  • Bosses - Do battle with powerful bosses in order to cleanse the corruption!
