Smintheus

Smintheus follows Gerald, a young mouse craftsman fleeing his former friend Lanky the cat. After something radically changes Lanky, the cat becomes intent on destroying Gerald without explaining why. Unable to defeat him, Gerald must escape and use his wits to reach freedom.

A world to explore

Gerald’s journey crosses four worlds: mystical wastelands, abandoned mines, mountain sewers and a magical forest. Lanky pursues him wherever he goes, so Gerald must outsmart the cat as he travels.

Gadgets and puzzles

You can use nearly 24 gadgets to solve riddles, overcome obstacles, evade danger, fight foes or make adventuring easier. Puzzles include manipulating boxes, levers, switches and gates, as well as challenges that require combining gadgets.

Tools and perks

Gerald is a craftsman who can stand up for himself. He can use his tools against enemies in his way. Completing side quests and picking up books grants experience points, which you can spend to unlock perks; these are optional but make the journey easier.

Music

The soundtrack takes inspiration from late-80s music, with a dedicated tune for each moment of the adventure.
