Relic Runner: Danger Depths

Rex has a helmet lamp, a brave face and absolutely no idea what lives under the mountain. Good news: you get to find out together.

Leap, dash and swing your sword down through fifteen handcrafted chapters of 2D platformer adventure. Crystal caverns that glitter. Lava that really wants to say hello. Drowned galleries, a desert made of glass, and a clockwork cathedral that keeps perfect time whether you like it or not.

The mountain is generous, in its own way. Every few chapters it hands you a new trick: a second jump in midair, a jetpack (yes, a jetpack), bolts of ember for things you would rather not touch. The rest we would rather you found for yourself.

Down there you will meet stone guardians with terrible manners, ghosts that only creep closer when your back is turned, and a temple yali who will gladly charge ahead of you once you set it free. Crack open an offering coconut for a blessing. Track down eighteen Lost Sigils. And when the mountain finally asks its question, the answer is yours to give.
