edient, The Messenger is first presented as an 8-bit action platformer with a simple story, that unravels into an epic time traveling tale, eventually revealing itself as a 16-bit Metroidvania game packed with replay value and deadpan humor. An epic ninja adventure with challenging gameplay and tight controls. Legit 8-bit and 16-bit art and music reminiscent of your favorite NES and SNES games. Memorable cast of (often silly) villains, bosses and associates. Catchy soundtrack by renowned chiptune composer Rainbowdragoneyes, made in Famitracker. Character upgrades, new abilities, hidden levels and story arcs to discover. Challenging and visceral gameplay where mastery is a thing to behold.
