Description

Curse Of The Nether Regions is an adults-only 2D side-scrolling Metroidvania set in a beautifully handcrafted world filled with pathways to unlock. Exploration goes hand in hand with battles against powerful foes, while a mix-and-match system for skills and equipment lets you shape your own combat style. The demo follows Minerva through the game’s first chapter, introducing a handful of enemies and a showdown with the first boss. It also features seven unique “bad ends,” accompanied by several CGs. The final release is planned to span eight chapters, each with its own biome to explore, enemies to battle, and “bad ends” to unlock. The story unfolds in a universe divided into three isolated domains: Ea, the upper realm; the many mortal realms; and the Nether Regions below. Deities from above and below can interact with the mortal realm only through “Anchors,” their chosen mortal representatives. For years, these Anchors have served as the means through which the gods compete for influence over the mortal world. Over the centuries, however, growing mortal corruption has brought Culiebra, goddess of corruption, to unprecedented heights of power. Now she seeks to overturn the natural order and break down the barriers separating the worlds. Her ambition leaves no room for compromise: she will not stop until everything is under her control.
