About the Game

You start simple, vulnerable.

But with each discovery, each resource collected, each skill unlocked—your character truly changes.

New movement abilities open up previously impossible paths.

Upgrades completely alter how you play.

Different builds allow for unique playstyles.

You don't just get stronger.

You play differently.

Tootum doesn't reset your journey — it transforms it.

Progression carries weight. Farming has purpose. And each attempt leaves you more prepared to go further.

Resources that strengthen your evolution

Decisions that impact your progression

Natural replayability, without artificiality

The story won't be handed to you ready-made.

It's hidden in details, settings, and encounters.

You'll piece it all together.

Three different endings.

Your choices matter.

What you discover.

What you ignore.

How far you'll go.

Everything has consequences.

If you're a fan of metroidvania games and enjoy experiences that blend magic, mystery, and challenge, Tootum is an excellent addition to your library. Now available on Steam — don’t forget to add it to your wishlist! The game may receive a launch week discount.
