About the Game

In a dystopian world in which light has become harmful, the beings that are still alive seek refuge in the underground. You'll enter a mysterious fortress and soon discover that something or someone controls the lights, and you'll have to advance avoiding them if you want to survive. On your way you'll encounter other beings that will guide you, or not, and you'll acquire abilities that will help you and let you access certain areas.

Features. 

A retro style platform game with fluid movements and metroidvania dyes in which you can acquire skills such as double jump or shock waves among others. You will find numerous challenges with platforms, simple puzzles, areas where you will have to advance with more stealth and others that will be hidden in plain sight.

Inspired by the pixelated games of the era of 8-bit computers like the ZX Spectrum, but including a more modern lighting and mechanics. 

In addition, it is accompanied by a disturbing music and sound environment that will immerse you even more in this experience.
