About This Game

Discover Your Favorite 90s Game

You emerge from the forest, a lone warrior standing in front of the lair of the Insect God. Your grip tightens on your spear as you take a step towards your destiny. Battle your way through unforgiving enemies and uncover the secrets of the Insect God as you search for a mysterious woman in this 2D retro-inspired action platformer.

2D narrative-driven action: Journey into the lair of the Insect God in pursuit of a mysterious woman, and unravel the secrets behind the Insect God in this narrative adventure inspired by the famous Finnish myth, the Kalevala.

Brutal, skill-based combat: Master combos to send your foes flying, perfect blocking enemies to stun them, and unleash devastating skills you learn as you punch your way through the Insect God’s domain.

Live-action digitized sprites- As if plucked from a dusty cartridge you found in an attic, Obey the Insect God features sprites captured from screenshots and videos of the actors, bringing a familiar yet eerie feeling of a game from another time.

Open explorable platforming- Explore the Insect God’s domain however you want. With the majority of traversal mechanics unlocked from the start, you’re free to roam the cursed castle and search out its secrets at your own pace.
