What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is in early access cause I want to improve based on feedback. I'm working everyday in this project and it would be very helpful to receive ideas and be able to expand the playable content over time with the community participation.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The timeline is indefinite, but it will probably take me 3 to 8 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The first version of the game features a 100% complete story mode (60 campaign levels) and 36 levels for speedrun mode. The plan is to expand the playable content: new mechanics, bosses, special levels, extra game modes, and more new levels. Additionally, I want to fix bugs, improve graphical elements, correct translations, and add more achievements. If all goes well, I will add 3 to 6 more game modes, at least 100 new levels, over 5 bosses, and more than 5 unique platforms. I also plan to create mechanics to make the game more dynamic and fun. The difference between the full version and early access is the amount of extra content.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The first version of the game is 1.0.0, which includes the complete story mode and speedrun mode (to which new levels will be added later). Players can comfortably start playing, finish the campaign, and replay the available levels in speedrun mode over and over again.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I plan to gradually raise the price as I ship new content and features.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community will be able to experience and test each patch as they are released, and I will be able to rely on everyone's feedback through email contact. You can make suggestions or report errors/bugs.”

Narrative and Art

Story: Almohadín is a pillow that suddenly came to life, transforming from an inanimate object into a vessel for a soul. Driven by curiosity, he decided to leave the room where he was. That's when he discovered the macabre world he was immersed in: The Basement. Dark, cold, damp. Violence reigns in every corner. Most inhabitants are in a deplorable mental state, except for a few who try to help Almohadín survive and uncover the truth. At some point, Almohadín learns something that changes everything: A legend says that by reaching the top floor of the basement, it is possible to escape to the outside world, the ideal place for any being. Motivated by this tale, Almohadín is determined to escape the basement as quickly as possible and will do whatever it takes to try. Story is divided into 13 acts, each with significant events that shape Almohadín’s development as a character: from his existential crisis to his bizarre battles against monsters that want to kill him.
Visual Novel: Discover Almohadín’s story and his escape from the basement while meeting charismatic, mysterious, and funny characters. Some will try to help you, while others will try to stop your journey. Between the game’s levels, you’ll delve deeper into the context of the plot. All basement inhabitants have something to say! Each act of the story is tied to the gameplay. Full script includes over 400 lines of pure text.
Old-School Graphics: Hand-drawn by an inexperienced illustrator who loves 2D graphics, this game’s unique style: minimalist, colorful, simple, and absurd... will leave no one indifferent.
Original Soundtrack: Original music composed to provide the best possible experience and add depth to the story. Over 10 songs are available to enjoy the game with rhythm and varying moods.
