The Messenger

08.30.18

 

As a demon army besieges his village, a young ninja ventures through a cursed world, to deliver a scroll paramount to his clan’s survival.

However, things are not what they seem. While The Messenger starts as an 8-bit action platformer with a simple story, it will eventually turn into an epic time travelling tale—revealing itself as a 16-bit Metroidvania packed with replay value and deadpan humor.

 

Features:

  • An epic ninja adventure with challenging gameplay and tight controls.
  • Legit 8-bit and 16-bit art and music reminiscent of classic games from the 80s and 90s.
  • Character upgrades, new abilities, hidden levels and story arcs to discover.
  • Challenging and visceral gameplay where mastery is a thing to behold.
