About This Game

DownSouth is a morality-driven Platformer/RPG. Play as South, a stimulant-fueled purple bean, and parkour, converse and fight your way through sprawling dystopian city-scapes. Each choice affects your abilities, dialogue, and even your appearance... Just know, SURVIVAL comes at a moral cost.

MORALITY & GAMEPLAY:

With high sanity, South is a brightly coloured speed-demon: fast and versatile with access to a wide array of dialogue options and movement fluidity... but he's fragile, vulnerable, easily manipulated, and poorly equipped to brute-force dangerous foes.

As South's 'Soul Points' degrade: His colours fade, fluidity falters, dialogue options disappear... What remains is a devoid, uncommunicative killing machine. Powerful, efficient, and increasingly detached from the world around him.

Using up to 5 dialogue options, you'll constantly weigh empathy against self preservation, deciding whether other lives matter more than your own survival.

SIDE EFFECTS OF THIS EXPERIENCE WILL INCLUDE:☺

• Frame-by-frame, hand drawn pixel-art animation.

• Detailed dystopian worlds full of bizarre, comedic & morally dubious characters.

• Branching dialogue and a sanity system that permanently alters the narrative.

• A cast of main clients and characters that you may befriend, battle or kill.

• Expressive platforming mechanics and a plethora of hidden secrets.

• Upgradeable abilities, fluid movement, and combo-chaining combat.

• Moral dilemmas that evolve based on your every choice.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Certain routes of the game may result in more 'violent' imagery. (Bludgeoning, Killing etc.)

There is also use/frequent reference to a fictitious stimulant which is administered in a similar fashion to general drug-use. (However this does not represent any real drug in any way.)
