About the Game

A comet returns. An island awakens. TUSK is a top-down action-adventure where you explore a tropical island, solve world puzzles, and battle your way through 8 handcrafted dungeons packed with secrets, traps, and boss battles.

THE ORDER

The island Motu Naro sleeps in the South Pacific — hidden from modern technology, resting along a cosmic Ley line where an ancient alien Order holds a Trial of Champions every 100 years. This century YOU are the challenger.

8 SACRED MASKS

Normally ceremonial, these 8 masks awaken when The Comet passes overhead—each infused with cosmic power: granting an ability tied to its spirit animal. You’ll need all eight to finish your journey.

ENVIRONMENTAL PUZZLES

Blocked paths, strange statues, stubborn mechanisms, and “why is that there?” mysteries. Use your growing toolkit to unlock routes, secrets, and new areas across the island.

ANSWER THE ISLAND’S CALL!

Step into snappy, ability-driven combat. Dodge, parry, and strike with precision—learn enemy patterns, exploit openings, and earn every victory.

  • Explore a lush South Pacific island that hides shortcuts, secrets, and strange landmarks in plain sight

  • Push deeper into ancient labyrinths where puzzles, traps, and locked routes demand clever tools and timing

  • Face formidable bosses in forgotten ruins, submerged chambers, and places that should not exist

  • Collect enchanted masks that channel primal powers and reshape how you fight and explore

  • Discover new items and upgrades that turn earlier dead ends into breakthroughs

  • Uncover alien relics, secret techniques, hidden rooms, and more mysteries than the island wants you to find
