Headup is thrilled to announce the fast-paced first-person survival platformer, Escape from Naraka, which will make its way to PC in Q3 2021. It is developed by the Indonesian developer team Xelo Games, with a soundtrack created by Yohan Jager, known for his great work for Pumpkin Jack.
Escape from Naraka combines Balinese legends and mythologies with strong influences from games like SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell, DOOM, and Dark Deception. This makes for a very special experience.
Escape from Naraka puts you in a nightmarish, labyrinthine temple dominated by an evil demon called Rangda the Leyak Queen. Using 3D scan technology for world-building; most of the detailed environment assets in the game exist in real life.
To save your beloved one, you’re going to platform your way through diversely themed platforming sections, each one challenging you with new deadly trials as well as traps and terrifying enemies. Developing the arts of dodging and perfect placed jumping is just one part of your successful escape. You also need to collect essential abilities and find the fastest way through the courses.
