Descend into the Darkness of Effigy: A Retro FPS Metroidvania

The prison moon Gehenna has fallen silent. A militant religious cult, worshipping the enigmatic Umbral, has seized control, plunging the lunar penal colony into chaos. Sent to investigate, you are now trapped, fighting for survival against overwhelming odds. Can you escape the Black Moon?

From the creator of the acclaimed narrative adventure, Sagebrush, comes Effigy, a thrilling retro first-person shooter (FPS) that melds the adrenaline-pumping action of 90s classics with the intricate exploration and non-linear progression of the Metroidvania and Souls-like genres.

Explore a Vast, Interconnected World

Scour the depths of the Black Moon, a huge and mysterious interconnected world, unlocking powerful weapons and abilities that drastically alter your combat approach. Unravel the unsettling history of Gehenna by deciphering cryptic runes and examining long-lost artifacts. Explore new possibilities for exploration by discovering questgivers, abilities, and items.

Unleash a Devastating Arsenal

Master a growing arsenal of deadly weapons and special items. Each item allows you to experiment and tweak your playstyle. Blast enemies around corners with the mining laser, or use the Pulse Buckler to deflect rockets back at your foes. Prepare for even more outrageous weaponry with each episodic update.

Experience Chunky Retro Graphics

Effigy embraces a low-poly, lo-fi aesthetic inspired by the genre's golden age. Relive the nostalgic charm of classic shooters with a modern twist.

Encounter a Cast of Enigmatic Characters

Gehenna is a haunted realm, populated by lost and tormented souls. Some will offer guidance on your perilous journey, and others will relentlessly hunt you down. Unravel the mystery, survive the horrors, and ultimately, kill their God in this unforgettable adventure.
