The Player assumes the role of Gregor, a lone scavenger, going though his expedition to search for the source of a strange radiation detected by his monitoring system. Acheron is the final project of a Game Development course, developed in two months. It is a sidescroller /metroidvania thematically set in a world flooded by the seas. The player will explore underwater environments, powering up it's habilities and resources along the way. What was suposed to be a simple routine procedure gets out of control and it’s on the hands of the player to understand what’s going on, exploring the ruins of a retro-futuristic place took by the seas.

It's coordinates are uploaded into Gregor's diving gear, a high tech suit capable of breaking the O² in the water, giving its wearer infinite breathing capabilities.
