Whatever happened to magic?
The Masked Mage is a slow paced, peaceful metroidvania game, focusing on exploration, atmosphere and story. There are no boss encounters and no complex combat system. Think of it more like a 2D walking simulator.

On your journey you will explore a vast and ominous mountain, old temples and ancient forests, meet the native wildlife and make a new friend along the way.
The Masked Mage is a story about friendship, mystery and of course magic.

Controller Information:
Due to limitations with the engine, some controllers may not work properly. There is, unfortunately, nothing I can do about that. Should you have any trouble with your gamepad, maybe try another gamepad or use the keyboard. I apologize for the inconvenience.
