The Old One

About the Game

Face the end of the world with tired bones and a sharp tongue in The Old One, a narrative-driven action adventure about a worn-out wizard, an unraveling reality, and the strange powers we trade to keep going. From solo developer Creative Waste Studio.

  • A short, focused single-player journey through collapsing cities, haunted ruins, and broken dimensions.

  • A fast-paced combat and traversal system built around strategic teleportation and limited resources.

  • Bosses that escalate, distort the battlefield, and leave behind more than just corpses.

  • A mysterious lantern companion that offers power, but always at a cost.

  • A world stitched together with cosmic horror, dark humor, and flickers of hope.

The controls are simple: walk, blink, cast. The decisions are not. Choose when to hold your ground, who to kill, and what you're willing to lose to keep moving forward.

Meet interesting characters, influential factions, eldritch beasts, and puzzle roadblocks while exploring the wasteland left in the wake of the old gods.

This is it. The wards are breaking. Can you find the cause in time?
