Inspired by the infamous era of ’90s digitized fighters, this retro-inspired 2D action platformer drops players into the strange and dangerous domain of the Insect God. Do you dare to enter his holiness’ lair?

Descend into a labyrinth of mystery and danger in a surrealistic narrative inspired by the Finnish epic The Kalevala. As you fight deeper into the lair, cryptic puzzles and powerful enemies stand between you and the truth behind the Insect God. Armed with a variety of weapons, including the newly revealed Power Sword, players will take on brutal boss fights, find hidden secrets, and explore a world brought to life through live-action performances.

The deeper you go, the stranger things become...

Key Features:
