The Messenger

Due to some unforeseen costs, I've recently found myself in a bit of a financial bind. To help alleviate this, I've decided to sell many of my unredeemed Steam keys I've accumulated over the past few years.

Release on Aug 30, 2018

As a demon army besieges his village, a young ninja ventures through a cursed world, to deliver a scroll paramount to his clan's survival.

Leveraging players expectations as a core game design ingredient, The Messenger is first presented as an 8-bit action platformer with a simple story, that unravels into an epic time traveling tale, eventually revealing itself as a 16-bit Metroidvania game packed with replay value and deadpan humor.
