Cain’s Island

A Nordic dark fantasy Metroidvania where players explore a cursed island through two perspectives: side-scrolling combat and exploration by day, and a top-down, non-combat city by night. Hunt creatures twisted by the island’s curse and confront legendary beings from unexplored Norse mythology, then return to a living town to trade, gather quests, and prepare for the next expedition. Uncover a story of exile and loss as you search for your missing brother.
