Escape From Naraka: Get Out Of This Nightmarish Labyrinthe Temple Alive!

Escape From Naraka…or else… Headup Games’ latest title, following the rather excellent Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield, is this first-person survival platformer coming to Steam next month.

• A Q&A With imaginarylab, Creators Of Whirlight – No Time To Trip
• The Best Of Two Worlds In Shin Chan: Shiro And The Coal Town
• Blood Hunting Is Dark And Dangerous, This Summer On PS5
• Age of Defense Review: This Takes Ages

Set for a release in Q3 2021, this game from Xelo Games features an underrepresented tale of Balinese mythology where you have to rescue your loved one through a ‘nightmarish, labyrinthine temple dominated by an evil demon called Rangda the Leyak Queen.

Escape From Naraka takes its inspiration from SEUM: Speedrunners From Hell, DOOM and Dark Deception, teaching players to dodge and perfect their jumping to line up a successful escape.

Key features in the game include:

• Exotic Balinese themed levels full of platforming challenges, traps, and adversities
• Terrifying enemies that bar the way to your freedom
• Unique abilities which are essential for your successful escape
• Lots of secrets to uncover for those who are keen enough to find them
• Leaderboards for each level and one for the complete run so you can see how you fare against others
• 3D scan technology was used to build this unique world, so most of the environmental assets exist in real life

Here’s the Escape From Naraka trailer:

Though the game isn’t expected until Q3 2021 (not long now), you’ll be able to try the demo from the 16th June on Steam. Make sure to wishlist it!
