About Tartaros

ESCAPE THE UNDERWORLD AS A GREEK GODDESS

Step into the role of Persephone, the greek goddess of nature, and find a way out of the Underworld after making a deal with Hades.

This free demo offers approximately 45 minutes of gameplay and introduces the first two areas, Hades’ Castle and the Caves of Hypnos. It provides a glimpse into the story, visuals, and core mechanics that will be further expanded in the full version.

SOLVE THE PUZZLES

In order to get out of the Underworld you would need to move objects, use weight and gravity, and interact with platforms to progress the game. Each level presents unique challenges that you must solve to progress, blending exploration with puzzle-solving.

SHAPE THE NATURE

Harness your magical powers to control the life cycle of plants by making them grow or wither, allowing you to interact with the environment. Solve puzzles, uncover hidden areas, and create new paths by transforming the world through the power of nature.

Use the glow of lightning mushrooms to momentarily light up your path, revealing hidden areas and guiding you through shadowy caverns.

FEEL THE NOSTALGIA OF RETRO AESTHETICS

The game’s visuals are inspired by the PS1/PS2 era, featuring low-poly models, glitchy textures, and pixelated shaders that capture the charm of early 3D gaming. Feel free to customize it!
