About This Game

Midway upon the journey of our life…

In Canto I, you take control of Dante, the Sommo Poeta, in a small adventure that reimagines the first canto of the
Divine Comedy as a videogame. Finding yourself in the Forest Dark, you’ll need to use all abilities at your disposal to traverse it!

Features

  • Spread your wings and overcome every obstacle, bounce on magical books, dash through spike traps and defeat helmet-equipped specters!
  • Fun pixelart style that will get a laugh out of you even when you’ll fall into a pit (there are lots of them)
  • Rebuild the Canto I — Spread around the four levels, scrolls containing the triplets of Canto I hide. Find them all and read the poem in the menu page!
  • Different game modes — play Classic mode for an experience without modifiers, Story mode for a relaxed experience or Hell mode for a real challenge!

How to play

• Movement: Arrow keys or WASD.
• Double jump: Up arrow key or W in the air.
• Attack: C, P or Space.
• Dash: X or O.
• Looking down: Hold the down arrow key or S.

Then he moved on, and I behind him followed.
Canto I is a personal, small love letter to the platform genre and to the Divine Comedy. Thank you for reading all the way down here and I hope you’ll enjoy the game, if you wanna try it. Have a wonderful day! :D
