Undergloam
In development
The last ember, in a buried city.
You are Wick, a small flame with a scarf. The Lamp at the bottom of the world has gone out and the dark has come up through every level. Go down, take back what the keepers took, and relight it.
Android and iPhone
Not out yet. It will be £4.99, once, on Google Play and the App Store. Email me and I'll let you know when it is.
What it does
How it plays.
-
A city to find your way down
Twelve areas, from a drowned archive and a clockwork orrery to a tower where the wind never stops. Each has its own ground to cross: rising wind, deep water, walkways that are only there in strong light.
-
Every skill opens old doors
Each keeper you beat gives up a skill: a dash, claws for climbing, a second jump, a cloak to glide on, a hook, and more. Every one opens places you have already walked past.
-
Twenty-two bosses
A keeper at the heart of every area, six more for anyone who goes looking, three trials for the brave and one that is hidden. Every attack is shown before it lands.
-
Relics and a camp
Twenty-four relics change how Wick plays. Twelve lamplighters are lost in the dark; find them and they come back to the camp to trade, forge your blade and tell you where to go next.
-
Made for thumbs
Left and right on one thumb, actions on the other, and flicks for up and down. Move and resize any button, or play with a controller.
-
Fifteen hours, give or take
Longer if you want everything. After the ending, New Game+ starts the world again, harder, with what you carry.
