About This Demo

What if nature could fight back?

Master the wilds. Restore a Broken World. In this creature-collecting roguelite, dynamic action meets vibrant open-world exploration. Befriend and command mystical Hântu to aid in your journey and rebuild a corrupted world!

From Herobeat, the BAFTA-winning creators of Endling. Officially selected for London Games Festival 2026.

Explore corrupted biomes and face twisted creatures born from a failed society. Each run drops you into a dynamic open world filled with an array of hostile enemies. Use metroidvania-inspired traversal abilities like a glider, grappling hook, or wall-running to reach and explore new biomes.

Restore ecosystems through action: rewild areas, reactivate Springs, and bring life back one biome at a time. As the world heals, its original inhabitants return—the Hântu, reawakened native creatures once driven to extinction. They join your fight, expand your abilities, and can be fed and leveled up to build your own team and combat style, adapting your strategy on every run.

In your skyship base, grow plants from seeds and resources gathered during exploration to unlock permanent buffs, evolve your companions, and prepare for the next descent.

Befriend and Battle - Collect Hântu Companions

Never Fight Alone. Discover and befriend a loyal roster of Hântu with unique abilities. Whether they’re soaking up status effects or unleashing powerful counters, these creatures are the key to overcoming the world’s most dangerous threats. Plus, they’re pretty cute too! Find and collect them, unleash powerful combos, and master every encounter.

Synergetic Combat and Dramatic Boss Encounters

Unleash Abi’s array of melee, ranged, and special attacks, seamlessly woven with Hântu abilities to dismantle your foes. Every enemy is a lesson in survival—adapt to shifting environments and overcome multi-phased Tormented Bosses to unlock game-changing traversal tools and upgrades that evolve your journey.

High-Flying Metroidvania Exploration

Master an evolving toolkit of traversal abilities—from the Glider and Wall-Run to the Grappling Hook. Forge new paths through an interconnected world, uncovering hidden biomes and powerful secrets that reward the curious and the bold.

Cultivate and Conquer From The Sky

Home is Where the Hântu Are! It also happens to be a customizable skyship where you return to rest and regroup. Plant rare seeds for permanent boosts, feed your loyal companions for upgrades, and decorate your ship into a lush, floating garden of power. In a corrupted world, your sanctuary remains a beacon of life in the sky.

Refreshing Roguelite Progression
