Effigy: The Descent

Effigy: The Descent is about a lost explorer descending into a cursed cave in search of artefacts—the only chance to escape. Statues pursue you when you are not looking at them, and you must gather six artefacts and assemble them at the exit to flee.

Survive the cave

Light stops the statues, making your lantern your main tool as you move deeper into the cave. You need to manage its use while progressing. Two statue archetypes stalk you: normal statues and light variants. They approach progressively, increasing the pressure as you descend.

Find a way out

The cave’s difficulty is directly linked to your progress, so you choose how to balance that risk as you search for the artefacts. Its environment bears traces of a forgotten, glorious and mysterious civilization. The civilization’s people are cursed to remain in the cave and prevent you from leaving.
