Catacomb Kids

Catacomb Kids is a procedurally generated platformer set in The Catacombs, a buried fortress filled with foul creatures, dark magic and the refuse of the Overworld. You fight your way through its depths, overcome traps and beasts, and grow your character through strategic choices.

The Catacombs

Five hundred years ago, four legendary heroes and a fifth, forgotten one sealed the demon sorceress Abys beneath her fortress. When her magic no longer held the fortress aloft, it sank into the earth and became known as The Catacombs. Kids from across the Overworld are drawn into its shadows in search of riches, power, knowledge or escape.

Coming-of-age ceremonies and criminal sentences now both involve exploring the Catacombs. The legend of Abys is nearly forgotten, though some say she still sleeps below, with the seals holding her growing weaker.

Fight and adapt

You wield swords, spears, axes and daggers, and use powerful magic to burn, freeze and poison your foes. Quick reactions, tactical engagements and strategic character growth all shape your progress. Basic elements interact to produce complex outcomes: you can lure monsters into fighting one another or use environmental hazards to turn them against themselves.

Use the world

The game’s world also serves as your crafting space. You create items and tools directly within it, without farming materials or navigating a menu.
