About the Game

Skull8 is a small retro-inspired fantasy experiment.

Traverse a procedurally generated labyrinth in search of eight mythical relics. Every screen hides traps, secrets, and subtle clues for the observant.

  • Procedurally generated labyrinth full of mysteries

  • Eight relics of forgotten power

  • Custom 12×12 Char Set text-graphics

  • Online leaderboards for competitive explorers

<<Skull8 began as a way to introduce my 8-year-old son to programming. We started in BASIC on the Amstrad CPC, but soon ran into the limits of that old machine. So I ported the project to PC, expanded it, and now, it has found its way onto Steam.>>
