'All that glisters isn't gold'.

You play Antonio, thrown into the Catacombs of Venice by Shylock's henchmen. With only a bow and an inexhaustible supply of arrows, hunt for treasure to pay off your pound of flesh.

Description: A simple, fairly casual dungeon-crawler.

Built with: Unity 3D using URP for funky 2d light effects.

Controls: WSAD, mouse to point and shoot Now also supports gamepad controls! Tested by myself on PS3 controller by a kind reviewer on PS4. Please leave a comment if other dual stick controllers have issues.

Can never have too much forsooth :)
Love the lighting, love the mood and music, the mechanics all work well, I just think it needs more of a progression system now, maybe you can collect swords on the way and use them also.

Very good game, good mechanic, fluid and fun. I had never seen the use of mouse point to light and aim, the playability is very good. And the creativity with Venice inspiration and ancient language was just great!
