This game was made for the "A Halloween Horror" event.

Polixiuhs is a blend of Pacman-style arcade, D&D dungeon crawling and survival horror in which the Player (potentially you) controls Galath, a Sentinel from the Kingdom sent against his will in the Cathedral of Polixiuhs to retrieve an ancient relic known as the Cornucopia. From the surface, the structure seems unimposing, but Galath knows that it is only the entrance to a colossal underground complex. It is populated by previous fighters who tried to claim the treasures of the cathedral for themselves, but in the end were corrupted by the wicked influence of Polixiuhs.



As the Player travels through the underground maze, he will have to face the disconcerting atmosphere of the claustrophobic tunnels, the apprehension of facing vicious dungeon dwellers and the unnerving difficulty of a game which seems to be actively working against him.

Given that the plot of the game is not delivered in a standard RPG fashion, no more will be said.

The game features reworked 8-bit graphics and heavily edited sound collages taken from music that may or may not be copyrighted.
It should be reasonably unrecognizable by youtube.

The themes from the event:


Inspirations for the game include Pacman, Castlevania, Legend of Zelda games and Polybius. And Pony Island.

Given the 8-bit aesthetic, there may be flashing lights though not many, but you have been warned. No triggering content like rape or excessive violence.
