The Underworld

Explore the haunting dimension of lost souls and help The Harvester in catching the mischievous souls that try to escape The Underworld.

The Underworld is a Puzzle Game created in 72h for a Game Jam.

You control The Harvester, a mystical being tasked by The Elder of The Underworld to track down and catch lost souls.
The objective of the game is to solve puzzles by catching souls that try to escape from The Underworld to another dimension through various portals. Catching some of the souls will grant you temporary bonuses that will help you with hunting the other ones before they escape

Known Issues:

First of all, if anything blocks you from completing a level, you can always use "N" to skip to next one.

- On some PCs Level 5 - Ghost River displays improperly.

- Ending cinematic is missing from the game due to variable oversight.
You can watch the cinematic here:

Thank you for playing, don't forget to rate the game either for LD52 or IGJ4 (or both!)

The game won't be developed any further, but if You like it and want to check out my other games I suggest starting with Accismus, as it shares the most similarities with The Underworld. I will be participating in GMTK Game Jam 2023, so see You then!
