About This Game

Core Descent is a puzzle-platformer built around precision, discovery, and layered challenge. Traverse nine interconnected zones, each with its own visual identity and puzzle mechanics, as you push deeper into an intricate underground world.

Key Features

Modular Puzzle Design
Engage with a growing toolbox of puzzle mechanics—from rotating gates to teleport systems—that evolve and combine in new ways across each zone.

Integrated Platforming
Switch between puzzle solving and platforming in real time. Some solutions require more than logic—they require timing, movement, and mastery.

Exploration-Driven Collecting
Gems and orbs are scattered throughout the world. Some mark your progress, others unlock hidden challenges. Completionists will find plenty to hunt for.

Evolving Challenge
Every new zone introduces fresh mechanics, gradually ramping up complexity without sacrificing clarity. Optional puzzles await those who want to go beyond the critical path.

Secrets Within Secrets
From tucked-away puzzles to alternate puzzle solutions, the world rewards experimentation. Sequence breaks and clever workarounds aren’t just allowed—they’re encouraged.
