About the Game

Tower of Tears is a non-linear Survival-Horror game with 3D Metroidvania elements, an invitation to peek at a foreboding poetic world populated by ambiguous cute characters and subtly disturbing beings. 

The Tower is a dark and unforgiving world to explore, packed with verticality, interconnected places and hidden routes. All locations are seamlessly linked making for an immersive world to decipher...

You play as TEAR, the latest Tower Keeper, weak, fragile, but clever.
You know nothing about your status inside this imposing Tower structure.
The Keeper's Tool, will help you in different ways to fight, explore, traverse or unlock new sections of that somber place. 

Across its damp corridors, you will meet various families, each with roles, shapes, and desires of their own.
You can already hear the cries of those not yet born and those who have lingered far too long… 
And somewhere deep within… someone is calling.
