Release!Hey everybody!
Smintheus finally sees the light! Yahoooo!!!
It's been a long journey, nearly 6 years full of sweat, blood and tears, but here we are - bringing a fine product with high quality polishing an indie game developer could afford. If you like action-adventure games like "The Legend of Zelda", but wish experience the challenge of puzzle genre then this game is for you - especially for you, if you are a 90s retro game aficionado. Smintheus is a true new retro-like game with a spirit of oldies mixed with modern accessibility.
Without doubt, made with love!

- Publish a walkthrough, both written and video versions
- Finish drawing achievements (they are all functional)
- Translate game to as many languages as possible
- Extend soundtrack, Ideally, each level has its own tune.
- Port to Mac
- Modding support
- Level Editor

[ 2021-11-12 09:12:34 CET ] [ Original post ] Smintheus is puzzle game where you craft gadgets to overcome obstacles, fight enemies, manipulate environment and various creatures while being chased by crazy but powerful cat whose life purpose is to capture you and kick your butt for no good reason. Hybrid of classical puzzle, adventure with RPG and survival elements including experimental twists inspired by various PC games of 90s.
You play as Gerald the mouse, a young craftsman who was forced to leave his home village due to danger emanating from the local dweller, Lanky the cat. Gerald and Lanky used to be friends, but something happened that completely changed Lanky. The cat simply became obsessed with destroying the poor mouse without giving any explanations for his hateful desire. With failed attempts to fight the cat there was nothing left to do for Gerald but to run away for his life.
