About Towards the Unknown
Towards the Unknown is a roguelite expedition into the Rift, where you gather resources, encounter unusual flora and fauna, and uncover mysteries among mystical creatures and legendary artifacts. You descend into its depths, but when an explorer dies, you pass the torch to another and set out again.
Explore the Rift
Enter the Absolute Zero to collect as many resources as possible and discover unique flora and fauna. Each expedition takes you farther into the Rift in search of what lies below.
Tactical combat
Combat is turn-based, and your strategy is key to defeating the enemies waiting in the depths. Your character can carry many artifacts, which you use to overcome challenges and explore further. After each battle, you earn artifacts and fit them into a Tetris-style inventory, arranging them carefully to gain power.
Shape your character
Choose a ranged, hand-to-hand or support approach, then build your character with artifacts that suit your choices. Death is part of the expedition: learn each move and enemy attack, and become familiar with your artifacts as you try to reach deeper into the Rift.
