• A downloable metroidvania for Windows. Enkhirydion is an exploration-based Metroidvania, action side-scrolling platformer.

Immerse yourself in the harrowing world of  Pedro de Triana,  a pixel art metroidvania that takes you on an epic journey through a plague-ridden European landscape. Fresh from the crusades, Pedro de Triana returns to find his homeland overrun not only by the Black Plague but also by demonic creatures emerging from a mysterious convent.

"Enkhirydion" excels in delivering a classic metroidvania experience (which means levels designed to be non-linear. You are free to explore even the most hidden secret part of the world) infused with a dark, captivating narrative. Players navigate through intricately designed levels, each teeming with secrets, upgrades, and formidable enemies. The game’s tight controls and fluid combat system make every battle feel dynamic and rewarding.
Pedro’s arsenal evolves as you progress, allowing for a variety of combat styles. From swift swordplay to strategic use of ranged weapons, each encounter demands tactical thinking and skill. The game’s difficulty is perfectly balanced, offering a satisfying challenge that rewards perseverance and exploration.

The pixel art in "Enkhirydion" is nothing short of breathtaking. Each sprite and background is meticulously crafted, bringing the grim medieval world to life with rich details and atmospheric depth. The character designs, especially the various demonic creatures and bosses, are both haunting and memorable.

The game’s soundscape is equally impressive, featuring eerie melodies and ambient sounds that enhance the sense of dread and urgency. Every clink in the armor of our enemies and every growl from the shadows add to the immersive experience.

The narrative of "Enkhirydion"  is compelling and multi-layered. Pedro’s quest to uncover the truth behind the demonic invasion and the mysterious convent is both thrilling and poignant. The game expertly weaves together themes of heroism, tragedy, and the relentless struggle against overwhelming darkness.

At the heart of the story is the Enkhirydion, an ancient book that holds the key to vanquishing the demonic threat. As players delve deeper into the game, they uncover crucial information that gradually reveals the horrifying truth behind the plague and the convent. This lore-rich storytelling keeps players engaged and eager to uncover every secret.

About us

My name is Pablo and I'm the developer of the indie action adventure game "Enkhirydion", which I am excited to present to you on this page.

For a year now, together with my son, we have been developing this game day by day, and at the moment our project is in the Demo phase: the journey on the map (played correctly) takes a minimum of two hours, and is designed for PC, with choice of language Spanish - English. 

For the next stage of the project we plan to expand the player's experience with new scenarios, enemies, more hostile bosses and many more main and secondary missions, where the secret of Enkhirydion will be known.

We tried to make "Enkhirydion" a mix of what we like most about the genre, a combination of classic Metroidvania game mechanics with an immersive narrative rich in historical details. We created this game with passion and dedication, and I'm sure you will appreciate both its gameplay and its story.
