Deep Rune [Full Game]

[JC Bailey]

TLDR: This is a non-SOM game I made that draws a lot of inspiration from the KF series. It's kinda like KF as a 2D side-scroller, but with a very different combat system that turns it into more of a puzzle game. It also features an original soundtrack that was created using the same soundboard that most of the KF games used.

Deep Rune is a side-scrolling adventure game that seamlessly blends RPG mechanics and puzzle solving, all set in a mysterious world rooted in Norse mythology. Delve into the depths of an ancient underground ruin in search of the Deep Rune, a long-lost relic that is said to grant one the means to ascend to the legendary High Realm. Along the way, you'll need to strategically manage various items, magic, and stats in order to bypass the terrifying creatures that lurk within. Are you prepared to unveil the true nature of the Deep Rune?
