Historic Helix

Historic Helix is a top-down action-adventure about exploring a growing treasure-map overworld, collecting artifacts and hunting down six major relics called Super Artifacts. You choose where to go, uncover new areas and strengthen the Helix project as you progress.

Explore the map

Each map fragment reveals more of the world and opens new pins, routes and shortcuts. You can travel through deserts, deep seas, icy paths, jungles and stranger places, choosing routes that seem safest, hardest, richest or weirdest. The order you take changes the pace of progression, the challenges you face and how the project unfolds on the way to each Super Artifact.

Upgrade and fight

Artifacts upgrade you as soon as you pick them up, changing how you move, fight and explore. Use Surge to burst through hazards and Rage to hold your ground, while mastering enemies, chambers, shortcuts and boss encounters as the Helix becomes stronger.

Discover the story

Artifacts also unlock stories, memories and clues connected to the places you explore. You can investigate the mystery behind the Helix project or focus on finding the six Super Artifacts. The music and sound effects shift with your movement, progress and momentum.
