About This Demo

Hunt for the Six Super Artifacts

Bend reality. Dash through fast levels, unlock strange dimensions, and piece together a living treasure map that points to the biggest secret of all, a new perspective on the actual meaning of Life, and your place within this Universe, and what happens after you go to the other side. This is the truth you have always been seeking. (FULL STORY NOT AVAILABLE IN DEMO)

A Multi-Dimensional Quest

Where every corner hides a map fragment, every fragment opens new routes, and every route leads to hundreds of ancient artifacts with a story to tell. Each artifact adds a piece of the puzzle, from old empires to star-touched myths. Explore at your own pace across a giant treasure map Overworld, pick a pin, jump into the level behind it, and come back with a new piece that expands the map itself. Let the map trace who you are. Each new route brings you closer to the Six Super Artifacts that change how you play; and how you see. The more fragments you collect, the more the map opens up; the more the lore speaks back.

Collect-to-Gain Gameplay

No upgrade menus; pick up map fragments or artifacts and your player improves on the spot. Thousands of tiny boosts mean every find matters, even the smallest shard.
