In Development
You? Someone else? Went too deep. The ground gives way. Screams filling ears. Falling through a crack in the universe.
​
A crushing landing. A glowing shard. Found? A lantern. Revealed. Its flickering light barely holds back the alien darkness.

Silent judgment. Trails begin…
The Broken Ceiling: Forsaken Isle is a 2D hand-drawn, top-down cosmic, dark ARPG. Set on a solitary island in a drowned alien world, used as a dumping ground for survivors of an arcane ritual conducted at random locations across the universe.
Shaped by the remnants of a mad god’s failed experiments: players take on the role of Chuck, a rabbit-like being cursed with a fractured soul and a twisted, mutated body.
