Silent Planet: Elegy of a Dying World Showcase - Survive The Eldritch Horrors Of This Gothic Metroidvania

Metroidvanias have been growing on me lately and today's game looks just like my type.

This is Silent Planet: Elegy of a Dying World, a sci-fi metroidvania that takes place in an abandoned gothic sci-fi ancient planet where eldritch monsters roam the lands.

Vertex Zero are its developers it and Red Dunes Games are publishing it.

It reminded me of Blasphemous the first time I saw it, so if you like that game you might also come to enjoy this one.

PC gamers can get it on Steam. Although, we don't have a release date yet, but you can add it to your wishlist.

🤔What is Silent Planet: Elegy of a Dying World about?

The story takes place in the year 2997. You play as Apranik. Your mission is to travel to the planet Thulcandra in search of a crucial item: the Angel’s Egg, a very ancient artifact believed to be the source of all life in the Universe.

You journey through the claustrophobic corridors of a massive underground complex filled with the remnants of technological and biological horrors created by a now dead civilization.

"What I witnessed could not be described. It seemed instead a convergence of nameless states collapsing into what cannot be comprehended: flesh and bones writhing and weaving into a turmoil of organic anarchy, appendages propelling the aberration toward me as it crawled upon an onyx, mucus-like substance which itself seemed endowed with life."
