About This Game

Claybound is a platformer where the world is made of clay - and some of it is yours to shape.

Push a lump into a ramp, stretch it into a bridge, roll it into a boulder, or pack it into a crumbling wall, then run, jump and stomp across what you made.

Shape your own way

Where other platformers hand you the path, Claybound hands you the clay. Raise a boulder off its pool and send it crashing through the arch, swell a wave of clay under your feet, tip a sheet into a ramp, press the last bridge to the sky bell yourself.

A journey through eight chapters

  • Sunbaked Canyon — rope lifts, sinking sandstone and wet riverbed clay under a great stone arch.

  • Ember Caverns — kilns, presses and a brassworks of gears you have to mend with your own hands.

  • The Melted Village — a village of pot houses after the storm, its gutters flooded with deep clay.

  • The Breathing Wildwood — a living forest, spore vents and burnt trees that only hold if you shape them.

  • The Hanging Quarter — a town on ropes and counterweights above the clouds.

  • The Marble Quarry — cranes, pans and ropeways under the moon, and something very large at the bottom.

  • The Soft Dream — an upside-down orchard and a breathing corridor, where the clay forgot its rules.

  • The Great Kiln — where the journey ends.

Mend what's broken

Broken floors, snapped spans and jammed gears: patch them with clay, stomp them into place and watch the structure take your weight.

Features

  • Formable clay as the core mechanic — ramps, bridges, boulders and repairs you make yourself

  • Hidden beads and glaze pots in every chapter, and checkpoints to replay for a better run

  • An original soundtrack and squishy, thuddy, crunchy clay sounds
