Go deep into the catacombs, rescue your friends and try to find the artefact.

This is the English version of a small game I made as a gift on a retro handheld during a community Secret Santa in 2022. Since version 1.3 you can switch between German and English in the Pico8 menu. [Yes. I made a localization for a Pico8 game ]. The English version has less insider and should be playable and understandable also when you don't know who those folks are, you are meeting.

Go 5 levels deep, find keys, fight snakes, bears, bats and .... blobs(?) who broke out from a zoo (ok, it's all a bit strange

Arrow keys -> Move, attack, interact
x -> dialogs, continue

Switch language and enable speedrun display mode in Pico Menu

This game started as a small experiment and updated it since then. I fell a bit in love with pico8.

I am making games since over 20 years or helping gamedevs to realize their games. This is the first game I release since 2017. I am weirdly proud of it!

Big chunks of the underlying basics are based on a tutorial for a rogue-like from Krystian from Lazy Devs Academy. I can highly recommend! Fun and educational. Here is is lovley Porklike.

I had some help:

Sil3ntz made the sprites for the Achtefakt, himself, the penguin, the dragons and the squirell.

Pan did the coffee pool and helped me with the dithered background.

The music sequence is from Snabich on itch.
