Narcalid is a cooperative enlightenment journey emphasizing peaceful exploration that teaches real-life meditation skills as you decipher cryptic messages from the past. Immerse yourself in the beautiful and broken remains of once great civilizations, but stay aware… the Narcalid is a powerful threat that should not be underestimated!

From the ancient texts that move along the narrative to the multiple environmental hazards of an unknown territory, Narcalid challenges you to see the universe differently. The deep spiritual principles embedded in the gameplay offer intense focus and flow stats throughout your adventure into this new world.

You must reclaim lost abilities and decipher the sacred text of the ancients, which has remained secret for thousands of years. Heal the wounds of epic bosses, learn to coexist with exotic creatures, and use the power of meditation to purify the planet.

With Seemsless co-op, bring up to four friends to explore a beautiful and dangerous new world. Narcalid is built to offer a compelling solo-player experience and an adventure that can be enjoyed as a team. Each ambassador character in the game comes equipped with a unique multi-tool, from a wall-shattering projectile to a projectile-shunting shield.

Narcalid offers precise controls, challenging puzzles, tricky platforms, and epic bosses. Get ready to unlock all your chakras and conquer all the dangers and threats that Mother Narcalid holds for you. Tons of enemies and bosses are waiting for you in the depths of this unknown world.

Indie developer Lotus Mountain Creative is thrilled to announce that their spiritual co-op Metroidvania title Narcalid will be coming to PC via Steam Early Access on August 8, 2024. 

“We are excited to be moving towards our biggest milestone in the development of Narcalid” commented Peter Jones, Studio Head at Lotus Mountain Creative. “Lotus Mountain Creative is a mission-driven company with the aim to aide in the enlightenment of the universe. To accomplish this we need to deliver on three key things - It brings joy, it brings people together, and it elevates consciousness. With Narcalid, we believe we are achieving these goals and hope to reveal many secrets and surprises along the way”. 

“The Early Access version is expected to be a 7 hr experience, more or less when in multiplayer. The full version aims to be 20 hours in length. The full game aims to have 6 major biomes to explore, each with a unique boss and mini-boss experience (heal the boss or pass its challenge!). The Early Access version will have a reduced number of biomes to explore, as we focus on the polish and experience on the early portion of the game. We expect to have about 2/3rds of these biomes for players to explore, along with their corresponding bosses and mini-bosses. The lore in the game teaches about meditation. The final game aims to teach 3 forms of meditation with invitations to meditate up to 30 minutes in length! The Early Access version will have a limited amount of depth, offering shorter meditations.”
