About This Game

The Basilisk is a genre-swapping platformer that focuses on the story of you, a supercomputer, as the last hope to save mankind from an unknown virus. Aided by your virtual assistant, this journey will test you mentally and physically.

You will be tasked with solving the puzzles found within the ribonucleic acid sequences of the virus. But all is not as it seems in a story of choices, brutality and psychological mind games.

Please refrain from playing if you do not wish to be exposed to potentially dangerous ideas, or if you are especially susceptible to motion sickness or seizures.

- 50 Mind-Bending Levels
- Genre-swapping Gameplay
- Choice-based decisions and multiple endings
- Sequel to the award-winning Archimedes
