An extinction event rendered a life-bearing planet to still silence. Millennia later, deep beneath the planet's surface something is stirring.... Born into a nightmarish fever dream, the Entangled One must fight its way through diverse, visually striking environments from a blasted wasteland beneath an eternal eclipse, to mutant filled crevices, and the putrid guts of the underworld. Not all things that are strange are hostile... And yet the Entangled One must slay to survive... Motivated by survival. Pulled ever forward by something beyond understanding. The Entangled One must slay the godlike Primordials to reach the source of it all: The Primordial Mass....

Press reviews: “The atmosphere is top-notch and brought me back to another era of gaming, reminding me of titles like Frightmare (1988) and of the good old days of the Game Boy.” Indie Skunk “Tribulation Entanglement is a striking Action-Platformer with environmental storytelling and familiar gameplay, a symbiotic journey as much as a personal one through the dying world under a monochromatic sun.” Collapsing Cosmoses “It is fascinating how these Gameboy-styled graphics can instill a sense of this being a lived-in world.” 3.5/5 – 366 Game Reviews
