About
The last journey begins…
Downward will let you set off on humanity’s final adventure, to seek out an explanation for the apocalypse that changed the Earth as we know it.
Taking advantage of parkour techniques and of the mysterious power you are given, you will traverse astonishing and dangerous ruins of past civilizations, all to find the legendary artifacts meant to control the deadly calamities that came to this world.
You won’t be alone in this, but what can you do? This world is not for humans anymore…
Parkour
Experience challenging first-person parkour action throughout ruins of past, jump, slide, hang… Collect experience to upgrade your character’s stats and powers, and use it to your advantage combining them with your parkouring skills to face Ancient Guardians waking up, within one goal: end your journey.
Explore and Discover
Nothing is served on a platter, freely explore an open-world and enjoy breathtaking landscapes, to reach secret places, collect useful items and hidden treasures. Seek out for an explanation to the world changing around you and the reason humankind has been annihilated. The end of the story will depend on what path you took, the treasure you collected, and the way you explored this apocalyptic world…
“The Coming”
When three stray planets mysteriously begin to orbit the Earth’s atmosphere, it spells death, disaster, and the end of an era. Rising from this fall is beyond the question. The only way forward…
…is Downward.
