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.

• Dynamic, acrobatic gameplay and ultra tight controls worthy of an epic ninja adventure.

• Character upgrades, new abilities, hidden levels, and branching paths to discover.

• Meticulously designed 8-bit and 16-bit sprites, animations, and backgrounds in the spirit of the classics.

• A memorable cast of offbeat villains, bosses, and associates.

• Original soundtrack by renowned chiptune composer Rainbowdragoneyes, handmade using Famitracker.
