Murciavania

A 2D action-platformer metroidvania in the tradition of the great late-90s classics: an entire castle to explore, lose your way in and explore again — with its reflection on the other side of a mirror.

Murciavania launches on Steam on 12 October 2026: add it to your wishlist and Steam will let you know that day.

The seal of the Almagra line is broken

Ginés Almagra, the last of a line that served the Enchanted Moorish Maiden, travels through more than 440 rooms across 88 zones to recover the five fragments of a seal, find out who broke it and face 20 bosses along the way, plus 27 more in hiding.

A map with real place names

Instead of a generic fantasy castle, the Region of Murcia room by room: Monteagudo Castle, Caravaca, Sierra Espuña, the Mar Menor and Cartagena under its Punic name of Qart Hadasht, with detours to Toledo, Cuenca, Soria and legendary Tartessos. And instead of vampires, the bestiary of Murcian folklore and of festivals from all over Spain: the Enchanted Moorish Maiden, la Mussona, the Bogeyman, Don Carnal, the Tarasca of Corpus Christi and the Wine Horses.

Guard, spells and gear

• Guard and perfect parry: during the first 0.14 seconds nothing gets through, the enemy is stunned and its projectile flies back at double damage. Every parried blow drains shield stamina.
• Ten spells, each taught by a different relic, cast by pressing a direction and finishing with the attack button. They cost Spirit, so timing matters.
• More than 180 pieces of gear, 26 sub-weapons with their own charged strike and 7 companions who fight or heal on their own.
• Boss rematches against the clock from the crossroads shrines, with a record for every boss, plus an optional on-screen timer for speedrunners.

The Envés: the same world, on the other side of the mirror

The second act flips the entire map horizontally, like a mirror: the same rooms and jumps, enemies with double health and 45% more damage, and four new bosses on the way to whoever really broke the seal. The game has two endings.

The 14 secret zones

Behind certain walls, under the water or at the bottom of a lightless well, Murcia hides another Murcia: the Espuña Sanatorium, the Passages of Light, the Mining Range, the House of the Holy Office, the Island Mansion, the Cave of El Puerto, the Cabo de Palos shoals and the Sky of Spells, among others. Each one has its own side in the Envés, and together they hide 27 bosses.

Thoroughly tested

Every system is validated by more than 9,000 automated checks: jumps measured to the pixel, every boss fight played through and every room of the map checked against its neighbour.
