About the Game

In this challenging action-adventure RPG, traverse various lands seeking to piece together the methods and madness of The Puppeteer. Craft unique potions to contend with hordes of enemies and uncover secrets rewarded by exploration.

RETRO RAMPAGE

Don't be fooled by the cutesy pixel art graphics - The enemies in The Puppeteer are numerous and aggressive! Some areas may even feel like too much to handle, however that's where potions come in:

POTIONS

This game's key mechanic is its unique potions crafting system. Everything from healing to speed to damage output can be enhanced by the potions you create. You are given free reign on what to mix in each potion and use that to build your own strategies.

WHO PULLS THE STRINGS?

The story starts clear-cut with The Puppeteer presented as your classic video-game villain, but the more you progress, the more the inconsistencies start to add up...

MULTIPLE ENDINGS

How much you explore and who you encounter in hidden areas will affect what ending you receive.

CHALLENGE YOURSELF

None of the achievements in this game are a pushover, but for the truly brave, try taking on the no-potions run to prove your skills are unparalleled.
