About the Game

Overview

Navicula Meatus is a dark and surreal puzzle-adventure game set in a peculiar world of murky alleys and fleshy growths. Explore a decaying town shrouded in mystery, interact with its charming denizens. Become a crustacean and utilise the unique puzzle-crawler grid-based meat systems.

   

Key Features

  • Explore: The decaying town where the sinews of ruined buildings throb while grotesque beings beckon you to the alleys.

  • Unravel: The lurching cryptograms of the Navicula Meatus, become entangled in the cumbersome user interface.

  • Bereft of Guidance: Human language has been surgically removed from the experience. Fun and gameplay have also been excised to allow for pure streamlined immersion.

  • Unstable Surroundings: The meat-glue binding the world is fragile so repeated playthroughs will present new disfigurements, including:

  • The Flute Boy: A wretched street urchin whose amusing melodies will thrill you as you linger, soaked in the sublime ambience.
