Key Features

Explore the Uncharted Depths of Cawthorne

Enter the dungeon, once respected by elders as a living being, now weaponized beyond the lords' own comprehension for controlling the masses.

Discover the outcasts assumed dead by Cawthorne who found refuge, equally shocked by your unique sense of direction.

Evade Hellish Monsters

The Apex Predators are feared by the lords themselves. They are legends among Cawthorne, believed to contort the very architecture beneath their talons.

Do they roam purely to hunt you, or do they too seek something more profound?

Solo or Duet?

Your sole right granted before your plummet is your choice to accept a willing partner, if one is so berserk to caw together with you.

Be weary: the ever-knowing dungeon will prove twice the difficulty for twice the brains.

Q&A

Will the game stay solo dev?

Should the game get funded, I will seek support for game design, animation, narrative, and development. (I do music and sound design by trade!)
