6 itemsAbout the Game
Escape from an alien megastructure that harbors an ancient ecosystem.
Climb, fight and bite your way through a retro-inspired Metroidvania that fuses survival with 3D action-platformers.
Deep and free-form movement
Use a movement system that's as tight and responsive as it is versatile. Tackle every obstacle the way you see fit, and unlock more abilities as you explore.
No invisible walls, no yellow paint.
Primal experience
Use your innate human abilities of smashing, throwing and biting to figure out the world around you.
Open "tomb raiding"
Make your way through multiple strange biomes within the abandoned structure. Find secret areas and artifacts, unlock abilities, masks and body paintings.
But most importantly, somehow find a way to reach the surface.
Key features
Deep and versatile movement that empowers you instead of giving you "yellow paint" to follow.
Physics gameplay. Use anything that isn't attached to your advantage.
"Figure-it-out" type of experience, where everything is learned by trial and error.
A vertical and highly interconnected open world.
Survival elements. Hunt, gather or scavenge what you can. Food may either buff you, or poison you.
