About

Hippocampus is a hack-and-slash action game set in a dark surreal world. You play as Lord Moebius navigating his fractured memories to find his missing bride. Gameplay mixes melee combat with timed platforming all layered over a grim Gothic atmosphere. The levels shift between grotesque landscapes and crumbling castles each filled with enemies to slash through and environmental puzzles to solve. The game stands out for its stark visuals and relentless pacing. Combat feels weighty with satisfyingly messy kills. While some mechanics can feel punishing the eerie art style and tense music create a lasting mood. It’s a brief but intense ride that leans into its Gothic roots without holding back.
