Gem Deeps

About

In Gem Deeps, you follow a stolen magic crystal into a mysterious underground world filled with ancient secrets. The game mixes side-scrolling platform action with RPG progression and shooting mechanics. You move through hand-drawn environments, battling enemy forces and uncovering layered stories etched into crumbling ruins. The game stands out for its intertwining narratives. Two conflicting accounts of creation, one from the underworld, one from ancient carvings, challenge you to piece together the true past. Developer Gemboi released it in late 2020, and its indie charm appeals to players who enjoy story-driven action adventures with a distinct artistic style.

Storyline

While chasing a magic crystal, you are stumbling upon an underworld civilization and scripts of even older origin. Both of those sources, the underworld mythos, and ancient tablets, are offering ​different versions of the long-forgotten Genesis story. It's up to you to decide which version is closer to the truth.
