Cryogear

Cryogear is a passionately hand-crafted Metroidvania-inspired pixel art platformer with souls-like mechanics set in an open sci-fi world. Gameplay is driven by exploration and rewards curious, creative players with new items, abilities, and ever-increasing possibilities.

You take control of the newly repurposed clone G.3.4.R and explore your new surroundings, uncover its many secrets, and strive to unveil the mysteries of the ever-present Emperor AI. Will you survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will you falter and fail as the clones before you?
