About the Game

A virus rewires the frayed roots of the forest, overwriting flora, glitching fauna, and changing the code of nature itself. Forest's mage Anaiah enlists the help of paladin Finn to hack the corruption rotting the Core. The pair must learn to work together, harvest The Additive, and reboot the Core to its natural state.

Play as Two Fight as One

Explore Anaiah and Finn's dynamic as you switch between a mid-ranged mage and a close-combat paladin.

Never Fight Alone

Though things feel bleak, there's still someone ready to fight by your side!

Navigate Nature's Obstacles

Slash through twisted roots and restore energy to flowers as you work through the forest.

Master the Elements

Harness the elements of Control, Stability, and Power as you search for The Additive.

Discover a Pixilated Digital Forest

Venture through a unique and detailed world of nature and neon in this techno-nature world. Here, technology is nature, with energy running through the roots of the forest.

Pre Alpha Demo Notes

Our demo is in a pre-alpha state, meaning this is just a slice of our intended vision, and there are lil bugs squirming around our dear code. UpRooted is in active development, and we plan to squash those pests! Along with bug fixing, our future focuses will be wired towards polishing our buddy and enemy AI, adding save systems, dialogue systems, new levels, creatures, powers, puzzles, and more! This demo is only the start of the story we want to tell. So stay tuned for more!
