DOSMIC

DOSMIC is a cinematic puzzle-platform adventure. The player takes the role of Nero, a young boy whose only constant companion was a girl named Snoa. After a catastrophe, Snoa disappears without a trace, and Nero sets out across a strange and dangerous world filled with colossal beings to find her. The setting combines dark fantasy with cosmic horror.

Gameplay combines platforming, puzzle solving and tense action. Puzzles vary, and include perspective-based challenges as well as those that make use of nearby objects and mechanisms. Some sequences involve stealth and escape, with the player slipping past overwhelming creatures. Nero also gains a power awakened at the threshold of death, which is used to shatter the core of a colossal enemy and claim its essence. His abilities expand over the course of the journey, from double jumps to gliding and flight.

The story is told through environments and imagery, without dialogue or narration. Fragments of memory are scattered throughout the world, and collecting them gradually reveals hidden details about Nero, his unknown power and the whereabouts of Snoa. A demo is available, and the developer permits streaming and video uploads of the game, including monetised content, without needing permission.
