Elypse is an arduous 2D adventure, story rich platformer, in a mesmerizing and mysterious world.

Every ten years, a sacrifice must be made to protect your people from the Abyss, a place as worshiped as it is feared! This time you were chosen and thrown into the darkness… Nobody has ever returned but perhaps you can achieve the impossible ?

Welcomed by Nyx, living alone with its boulders in a cave, you have survived for ten years. With his help you will try to reach a portal that could finally let you escape the depth of the Abyss in this 2D adventure, story rich platformer.

In the game players take on the role of a female protagonist called Fay, chosen as the sacrifice to protect her people from the Abyss. But instead of taking it lying down, she chooses to fight back and search for a way to escape, possibly even saving everyone in the process.

Elypse features a distinctive art style that showcases hand-drawn environments and characters inspired by the likes of Tim Burton, H.R Giger, Guillermo del Toro. The game's immersive soundtrack, composed by the talented musician Maxime Engel, adds to the overall experience, making it a must-play for those seeking a challenging and engaging platformer. Get ready to explore a vast and interconnected world, acquire new abilities, and battle against formidable foes - Elypse will have you leaping with excitement! 

Will you be the first to escape Elypse's darkness and discover its secrets?
