Explorium
You were investigating rumours of undiscovered ruins of an ancient civilisation that caused the bronze age collapse. However, you fell in a sinkhole and cannot climb back up.
You will need to explore a gigantic cave system named the "Explorium" to find a way back to the surface.
Explorium features a mix of exploration, combat, story/lore, and puzzle solving. It has about 3 to 4 hours of gameplay.
On the web, the game might take a while to load. Give it a minute to fetch all the assets it needs (or you can also download the desktop version)!

Features and Tips
Read only if you need help to avoid being spoiled
Leveling system
You earn XP by killing monsters, helping NPCs and discovering information about the ancient civilisation that lived in the Explorium.
Don't forget to spend your XP! At the start, try to prioritize health, than strength. Intelligence is needed to equip some weapons.
Floors and progression
The explorium has 5 floors: The oasis, the desert, the marsh, the frosted frontier and the city of the tide.
Going to the next floor usually requires solving a puzzle, helping an NPC or doing a quest. If you are stuck because you cannot beat a boss, try to talk to NPCs and help them, they will help you back!
Try to collect all artefacts of an area before going to the next one! You can also go back to previous floors using the teleporters using your knowledge of the next floors! You might discover useful things.
Use the map to find the places you did not explore yet. Every place of the explorium is filled with ancient secrets for you to discover!
Combat
Time is paused when your inventory is opened. You can heal at any time. Try to stock up on enough figs and other helpful items before fights. Open your notebook with A and use/equip an item with space.
Different enemies are weak to different damage types! Use your bestiary to know more about each enemy and use the right weapon.
You can find the bestiary in your notebook, by using E to switch to the bestiary page.
