I'm making Eldritch Climb, a climbing roguelike where the mountain is alive, the loot is cursed, and collecting Eyes only makes things worse. 🏔️💀| he/him | 🇲🇽 Free demo on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2645670

already designed and mostly implemented, still open to experimentation though

that's the idea! I always loved the movement in that game

Three out of five biomes already in the game, already deep in the mines working on the next update. #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike

About fourteen years making games, the first indie one hits different. #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike

Three things about my game: You can trade resources for shortcuts. Offering Eyes at the base unlocks story sequences and puzzles. The metal heart in the first zone does more than protect your HP. That last one I'm not explaining. #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike

Movement is the key to a good run, it's like learning to walk again, until your launching yourself through levels. #roguelike #gamedev #lovecraftian

the mines are a very important part of the story of the mountain.

The miners were corrupted by the crystals. They dug too deep into a living thing. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

Yes, between runs you can spend them to get unlocks and during runs you can find a seller to get some items with it.

Eyes are the currency in the game but they also makes things worse. The more you collect the weirder and harder the game gets. Levels mutate and enemies evolve. Greed can ruin you or get you to deeper secrets. #indiegame #gamedev

Positioning is super important when using items. Every encounter requires keeping a lot in mind. I think the spear showcases this very clearly. #indiegame #gamedev

I think so too, I'm trying to have a good balance of both offensive and defensive items but I keep enjoying the defensive ones more

jorlu - Eldritch Climb @covertwonders.games · 22/09/2026
I tried to add items that give more pacifist options to players. The Dash Crystal is one of my favorites. #indiegame #gamedev

Eldritch Climb: A Cursed Ascent on Steam
A physics-based roguelite where the mountain is alive, the items are cursed, and collecting Eyes only makes things worse. Swing your way to the top. It won't kill you. Probably.

This update came later than expected as I've been working mostly solo since the Early Access release but here we are.

Also, rebindable controls, new sound mixing and balance passes across everything. Not as exciting as new content but overall the game feels much better for it.

jorlu - Eldritch Climb @covertwonders.games · 21/09/2026
New items open up new strategies. Find new ways to navigate this cursed maze and even get a leg up against its dangers.

The Gurgling Depths are where the cults that worshipped the mountain met their tragic end. Traps and floods from that time still haunt the walls.

jorlu - Eldritch Climb @covertwonders.games · 21/09/2026
Gurgling Depths is out now - the first major content update for Eldritch Climb. A mine carved into the mountain's insides, new tools to move through it, and pieces of Danforth's past he'd rather forget. 🧵 #indiegame #gamedev

Yeah the game really gets going once you start flinging yourself through levels and react to dangers on the fly.

I love this side by side shot of our second Boss, it feels so much intimidating on it's final phase. What do you think should be it's strongest move? #gamedev #indiegames #roguelike

I implemented rails and mine carts into our level generation, it's kinda limited but pretty cool when everything comes together #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity

Moving through levels with different items open up awesome combo potentials. Managing your momentum is crucial for our roguelike climbing adventure. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #gamedev

Here's one of the new enemies we're working on for our next big update 👀 How do you think it should attack in each of its phases? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

jorlu - Eldritch Climb @covertwonders.games · 03/12/2025
We added a small probability for enemies to transform to a different phase when you approach them. Been trying to communicate earlier to players that the Eyes system hides all sorts of secrets like that. #indiegame #gamedev #indiegames

Getting currency in our game can have dire consequences. Introducing EYES: A reality-bending substance that makes the game creepier and harder the more you collect. Here's a thread about the cost of knowledge... 👁️🧵

Offering up your hard earned Eyes to the Mountain is a great way of keeping your trek as normal as possible, what could go wrong? #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

Solving these puzzles will transport you to Memories, narrative interludes where you will learn more about our character and what led him to be trapped in this Mountain. These Memories also change depending on the amount of Eyes you have!
