Reclaim What You Have Lost

Journey to plead with four elder gods to reclaim the life you once had. Most pilgrims appeal to a single god, but what you’re asking for is beyond a single god’s power.


Plead with the Elder Gods is a melancholy 3D metroidvania adventure in a large interconnected fantasy world. Explore windy mountaintops, ancient ritual sites and long forgotten settlements; befriend and clash with other pilgrims; and gain the favor of the gods in order to reach your goal.

Unravel the mysteries of the world
