Metaxis

Story:

You descend into the underworld to save the one you love — a soul already taken by Death.

Death gives you a cruel choice:
“If you can lead her out, she lives. If you fail, you stay here forever.”

With nothing but your determination, you must cross dark realms filled with shifting dangers.

Your journey is a struggle between light and shadow, life and death — caught in the place between them: Metaxis.

Metaxis is a minimalist puzzle-platformer with a deadly twist: you can never stop moving.

Enter a black-and-white underworld where Death gives you one last chance to save a lost soul. Think fast and use quick reflexes to cross tricky isometric levels where the ground itself is dangerous.

Style

The game has a clean, minimalist look. A fixed isometric camera and sharp black-and-white visuals create a world that feels both beautiful and threatening.

How to Play

Reach the end of each level by avoiding deadly traps and solving puzzles. Your helping ability is a short-range teleport, which allows you to cross gaps, dodge enemies, and reposition in the blink of an eye. Learn to master this skill to escape impossible situations. But remember: if you stop moving, Death will take you.
