About
Dive into a nostalgic 90s-inspired fantasy world in this exciting 2D action RPG! Your island is in danger of being lost to the sea, and it’s up to you to save it. Battle monsters, solve clever puzzles, and enjoy the thrill of discovering hidden secrets as you explore a dangerous and mysterious land.
Remember those Saturday mornings as a kid, rushing to play video games? That feeling of exploring new worlds, full of hidden adventures around every corner? Under the Island captures that same magic. This 2D action RPG lets you freely explore and discover secrets, just like when you were a kid exploring your backyard, always hoping to find something amazing.
Okay, so I’m playing as Nia, and I just arrived on this island called Seashell Island. Things didn’t exactly go smoothly when I first met everyone, and I kinda rubbed the local girl Avocado the wrong way. But then we found out something HUGE – the island is going to sink! Now, I’m running around fighting monsters, figuring out tricky puzzles, and exploring all these awesome, colorful environments. I’m meeting a ton of interesting characters along the way, each with their own story, and we’re trying to uncover the island’s secrets to save it before it’s underwater. It’s pretty intense!
