Reality calls you to return from the world between worlds. You see a glimmer of light that pierces the darkness... Who will you meet? What will you discover? Lexicon is a single-player puzzle adventure game that invites players to solve mind-bending challenges using familiar 2000s-style flash game mechanics while telling a unique story about a person who finds themselves in the mysterious, and sometimes highly quirky, world of Ekkos. Immerse yourself in the enigmatic and delightfully eccentric world of Ekkos as you traverse Babel’s 6 unique domains, meet its peculiar inhabitants, and discover its hidden secrets. EKKOS The realm between life and death is visited by few as most beings are unaware of its existence. Although Ekkos is made up of several habitable layers, most beings live in the layer known as Babel. Babel consists of 6 unique geographical domains that each possess their own people and problems. In Lexicon, you will navigate through each of these domains to ultimately escape from the world between worlds. CHARACTERS As you travel through Ekkos, you will interact with a diverse array of beings of various personalities, ideologies and idiosyncrasies. Some of them might seem shy at first, but don’t be afraid to engage them more than once! If prodded enough, these characters may reveal more about themselves, and they might just surprise you… With its classic ¾ perspective and enchanting vector art, Lexicon will challenge your wits and evoke the nostalgia of 2000s-style web games as you solve head-scratching conundrums. INDUS Some speakers of the long lost language have the ability to manifest words into physical form. On your journey, you will need to learn new words in Indus to explore the various Domains each containing their own elemental characteristics. POWERS The origin of your powers is a mystery, yet mastery of them will prove essential to overcoming difficult challenges. Powers like Time Stop can be used in combination with Indus to pass through dangerous environments. 2000S NOSTALGIA We cherish the days of secretly playing web games on our elementary school computers long before any of us owned high end consoles and PCs. We want to reinvent what made these great games great and allow for this next generation of gamers to experience them with our modern interpretation.
