Dros is a dark fantasy adventure where you'll swap between a small gooey creature and her human bounty hunter shell. Little Dros and Captain are very different beings but they'll have to put aside their differences to make it out of the spooky Alchemy Tower in one piece. Unravel the mysteries within the Tower as you meet its strange inhabitants. Collect alchemical treasures and explore a world where there's a twist around every corner. You'll need to body swap! Jump, squirm and stealth around as Little Dros. Open heavy doors, weigh down pressure plates and clear a path as Captain. Oh, and beware... every one of the 40 levels of the Tower is unique! Chat with many odd and loveable characters on your journey. Humans and Dros alike live within the Tower. It's a place where the lines between good and evil are blurred. There's a whole bunch of obstacles to overcome. You'll use both brains and brawn to solve puzzles, fight off creepy creatures, put together alchemical treasures and uncover the many stories within. Features: Handcrafted visuals. Every little corner of the Tower has been designed with great detail. Unique soundtrack. We worked with electronic pioneer Arovane to make a soundtrack that weaves through the world. Explore 40 levels each with their own puzzle mechanics, enemies, hidden rooms and platforming. Body Swap between Captain, a human bounty hunter and Little Dros, a small gooey creature. Play as two very different characters with their own strengths and weaknesses. Amass Prima and gain new abilities. Odd and often charming characters to meet and talk with. Narrative with humor and a bunch of heart. Collect diary entries to unlock story and endings. New Challenges become available after you finish the game. Speedrun to find special secrets. 

Press reviews: “Dros itself has a charming aesthetic, pulling from a particular style that has been a go-to for plenty of indie games. This is alongside some great hand-drawn character portraits that add to the game’s artistic flavor.” Analog Stick Gaming “Dros is a really good title, which intelligently quotes the great classics of the great N. Its excellent graphic style and its narrative are combined with an articulated and stimulating level design. A layered game that can be both lightly approached and delved into completing all of its side objectives.” Indie Games Devel “It’s a cool little game which gets a lot of mileage from solid mechanics, charming writing and adorable and colourful art design” Checkpoint Gaming
