Vesuvius

A surreal metroidvania where you uncover the secrets of a snowy Mt. Vesuvius, its mysterious cult, and the strange forces twisting its depths.

Set on a reimagined Mt. Vesuvius, you are to uncover the mystery of a vanished cult that disappeared into the mountain years ago. Within its depths, you will traverse a series of biomes that defy logic — lush forests, icy caves, tranquil lakes, and more — all hidden beneath the snow. Reality often bends, leaving questions on what is real as you navigate shifting landscapes and uncover the mountain’s secrets.

You will navigate the world through precise platforming, engage in combat with mysterious foes, embark on quests with enigmatic NPCs, and uncover the story woven into the mountain’s surreal environments. Along the way, you’ll discover new abilities that allow you to explore further, unlocking secrets hidden in every corner of this sprawling, interconnected world.
