“The year is 3016.
Base monitoring detecs a new source of electromagnetic radiation comming from below. A quick scan reveals the source of the signal, proceding to upload it’s coordinates into Gregor’s diving gear, a high tech suit capable of breaking the O² in the water, giving its wearer infinite breathing capabilities. Gregor then sets out for another archaeological expedition among the retro-futuristic ruins of his ancestors, now drowned by the sea.
But this time things aren’t as ordinary as they usually are."




The Player assumes the role of Gregor, a lone scavenger,  going though his expedition to search for the source of a strange radiation detected by his monitoring system.

Acheron is the final project of a Game Development course, developed in two months. It is a sidescroller /metroidvania thematically set in a world flooded by the seas. The player will explore underwater environments, powering up it's habilities and resources along the way.
What was suposed to be a simple routine procedure gets out of control and it’s on the hands of the player to understand what’s going on, exploring the ruins of a retro-futuristic below the ocean.

That swimming reminds me of Scuba Diver on the Spectrum. I loved that game. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Keep it up.

Gregor's suit is capable of breaking the oxygen on the water and feed it to him. But strange things are about to happen.

Yes! I'll post it when it get's released.
We decided to work a little longer than the original two months, and development has been much slower than it were, but it's constantly improving. I believe in a month we'll have it done.
