About the Game

Maskbound is the story of a Native American village whose culture centers around powerful artifacts – elemental masks. The lives of its people change forever when a visitor from Europe arrives! It’s a tale of tradition and culture clashing with knowledge brought from across the ocean.

A family-friendly puzzle platformer featuring a cartoon art style designed for kids. While it’s meant to be relatively easy for everyone, some environmental puzzles might just give grown-ups a run for their money! :D

  • Elemental Mask Mechanics: Harness the powers of fire, water, earth, and air to overcome obstacles and defeat your enemies.

  • Experience the story from two perspectives: Meet two heroes with unique personalities and gameplay styles. Shilah, the village chief who commands the elements, and Thomas, a cartographer and explorer fascinated by indigenous cultures. Witness the beginning of a great friendship!

  • Cheerful, Colorful, and Cartoonish: Enjoy fun and vibrant graphics completely free of violence. It’s the perfect game for school-aged children and the whole family to enjoy together.

⚠️ THE GAME IS CURRENTLY IN A VERY EARLY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT! FINAL GRAPHICS AND GAMEPLAY ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE!
