Verse Unknown is a day-to-day RPG platformer. Explore and level up by making the world a better place!
Residing in a run-down city, Marrow is a shut-in without much to live for. Sometimes she wonders if she'll ever matter at all. One night, after a strange dream that feels even realer than reality itself, she feels compelled to change her life for the better. Though something as simple as going outside may be a daunting task for her, she's finally ready to take the first step forward. Are you?
EXPLORE A LARGE, SEAMLESS & STRANGE WORLD
Stumble across numerous places to go, things to see, and challenges to conquer. From the crumbling Dusk District to the bustling Octopus, The Capital is teeming with opportunities waiting to be seized. Player discovery is one of our highest priorities, we want every journey across Lehr to be personal.
GRAB, SHAKE, THROW!
Use Marrow's trusty boomerang circlet to interact with the world, attack enemies and grab objects! Each object has a different function. Some are gameplay altering, while others are just silly knick-knacks. Grab and shake... EVERYTHING. You'll thank me later (if you're polite).
MEET WEIRDOS, MAKE MEMORIES
Lehr's globes are full of characters to talk to. Coming in all kinds of shapes, sizes, colors and artistic mediums, every person you meet is unique from the last. While you're out exploring, it'll pay off to interact with them. Through interaction, Marrow will grow stronger and gain new opportunities - learning much about the world around her in the process.
A GAME BY CHEY AND ZOE
Verse Unknown is made by CZDOOM, a two-person team literally named after ourselves. This game wasn't made by a computer. It also wasn't made by a massive team of people who each specialize in one specific skill. We're unique in that we both enjoy doing a little bit of everything. Whenever you talk to a character, hear a song, fight an enemy... that could be from either of us! Or from both of us working together. We're making this game for fun, for ourselves and as an extension of us. We hope you'll enjoy the ride and find value in it!
INSPIRATIONS
These games inspired us to make Verse Unknown and are still actively inspirations as we develop it. Once it's playable, we think you should give our game a try if you enjoy at least two of these:
ENA: Dream BBQ - Similar surreal style, studying it has really helped us translate our art into 3D!
Moon: Remix RPG Adventure - Time management and interaction-based progression.
Psychonauts - Creative 3D platforming in a world full of weird characters and attention to detail.
Mischief Makers - Experimental platforming, free-form movement and grabbing/throwing/shaking objects.
Undertale - Eccentric characters, surprises and heart.
FAQ
When is Verse Unknown coming out?
We want Verse Unknown's demo to come out this year in 2026. Both of us are working on this game unpaid in our free time, so we don't want to make any hard promises in terms of deadlines. However, if all goes well, the game should be fully complete by 2028.
Is this game related to Fourmiworld?
This game takes place in the same narrative multiverse as Fourmiworld, so this is a dimension that Wandereye COULD have theoretically stumbled across! However, the two are not directly connected.
