Inspired by classics like The Legend of Zelda and Hollow Knight, Tombwater is a 2D Soulslike action RPG that casts you as a lone gunslinger who arrives in the accursed ghost town in search of a lost friend. The residents of the once-prosperous mining town have been afflicted by madness. Monsters and horrors roam the streets and there are few souls remaining with a sound mind. It’s up to you to clean up the town, as well as uncover the secrets that Tombwater’s deranged inhabitants are trying to keep buried.
