About Skein
Skein is an arcade-style procedural dungeon shooter for one or two players. You fight through increasingly large dungeons and growing hordes of monsters to find the body of a talking sheep and return the soul of a great warrior prince trapped inside it. Loot and survival are also central goals, and you can play alone or in co-op.
The quest
A group of adventurers crossing a wasteland finds a sheep and kills it for food, unaware that it is a magic sheep carrying the soul of a warrior prince. Feeling guilty about condemning him to spiritual suffering, they enter the legendary Skein to find his body and restore his soul to it.
Dungeons and combat
Dungeons are generated procedurally, with later levels adding fiendish traps and huge Champion monsters with their own attacks and powers. You use magic spells you find to fight the enemies, and friends can join at any time to help. The game includes more than 40 unique enemies, each with its own traits and talents, as well as special areas such as the Arena, the Vault and the Caves.
Characters and play
Choose from six unique characters across three unique classes, with a large number of class-based spells. Skein supports one- or two-player co-op, and includes local, online and Steam leaderboards, along with more than 40 achievements.
