Dive into a prehistoric world where primitive reptiles rule in the game Mendacium. Evolve your character by fighting enemies and bosses using various combat combos, primitive traps, and elemental magic.

Venture on a journey of evolution with an agile young reptile hunter who wields the Tesseract, capable of manipulating organic matter. Combine primitive and advanced technologies as you fight enemies with a spear and traps, and strike them down from a distance with the help of magical technology. Undertake the seemingly impossible task of preventing a catastrophe that threatens all life and attempt to discover its origin.

Mendacium combines dynamic ranged and melee combat and delivers deep stories through quests and characters. You can gather your materials through various professions, then use them for transmutation to craft new items, upgrades, and tools. With the exploration of different builds and playstyles and a customizable loadout system, the game offers a wealth of possibilities. Additionally, evolve your skills and abilities, increasing agility and strength through the patterns of fallen creatures.

After you die, you can gain insight into the spirit realm, a dimension that lies between life and death. Explore a hand-painted world with a vibrant aesthetic and mysterious atmosphere, and unravel the history of the reptiles that rule the planet, uncovering the mysterious secrets that shape their existence. Enjoy a rich orchestral soundtrack that echoes the mysterious and otherworldly nature of this primal planet.

Mendacium will be available later this year on PC via Steam. You can also play the demo version of this game starting today.
