About This Game



Six friends embark on a weekend getaway only to find a mountain with an ancient secret. Can they escape its clutches? Pryzm is a survival adventure mystery presented in a hand drawn pixel art comic book / visual novel hybrid. Players have to manage the characters, maintain a special resource, and weigh their choices in order to make it out alive. NOT EVERYONE WILL SURVIVE in each playthrough.



It also features turn-based combat and elements that change with each new game.



Each normal run usually lasts between 1 to 2 hours and is encouraged to be completed in one sitting for the best rank. Mistakes can be recovered with a good plan, but game overs are very likely. There are features after a game over that allow players of all skill levels to improve their runs, learn the lore, and figure out how to manipulate resources and time to their advantage. Skilled players can challenge the end game via the online leaderboard speedruns that rank the best no-continue runs. Find the fastest strategy for each leaderboard!

Main Features:
  • Concise 1+ hour experience per run at average reading speed
  • Approachable turn-based combat that hinges on risk and reward
  • Escape parameters that change with each new run
  • Multiple endings depending on performance and uncovered secrets
  • Rank system for endings
  • Online speedrun leaderboards
  • Can be played with just the mouse

Check out the community hub news section to find out more details about the various aspects of the game.

WARNING:

While Pryzm contains themes of the supernatural and horror, THERE ARE NO JUMP SCARES OR OUTRIGHT DISTURBING IMAGERY. The main FEAR comes from having only ONE auto save while wondering if the next decision might end up spiraling a run towards an unrecoverable GAME OVER.
