[Don't] Let Go

[Don't] Let Go is a 3D action-adventure puzzle game about escaping an ancient city with a mysterious cube bound to you by a rope-like connection. You explore the mostly abandoned city, solve puzzles and fight enemies as you search for a way out and assess whether the city could become a home for your wandering tribe.

The city and the cube

The city lies deep within a crater. After finding a cube with a destructive past, you form a symbiotic bond with it. The cube can grow, but as it does, it also becomes more like an anchor that weighs you down and makes escape harder.

You and the cube can revisit churches from a past era to restore its lost power. These upgrades let it grow in size and strength, opening new areas and enabling you to solve more complex puzzles. Meanwhile, the cube’s connection limits how far you can travel from it: your energy decreases as you move away, increasing your reliance on staying close.

Puzzles and combat

Two ancient tentacles block the city’s exit. You travel to different parts of the city to destroy them, while solving ancient puzzles to unlock new areas and continue your escape. Enemies that serve the tentacles try to sever your connection with the cube and imprison you both.

The cube is your main weapon and can also affect the environment. Throw it at enemies to knock them back and eventually make them vanish, or use it on objects to solve puzzles. Mystical enemies try to take the cube and return it to the prison where you found it, so you must protect it by stunning and defeating those in your way.
