Linked Mask

About

Linked Mask tasks you with climbing six towering structures each guarded by a deity tied to a natural element. Collect all six masks by solving platforming puzzles and navigating treacherous terrain. The game leans into retro aesthetics and tight controls echoing classic handheld titles with straightforward yet challenging gameplay. Each tower ramps up difficulty mixing precise jumps with environmental hazards that require quick reflexes. The standout is the steady progression curve balancing frustration and satisfaction as you master each tower. Hand-drawn visuals give it distinct indie charm while the minimalist soundtrack complements the focused atmosphere. Players often praise its ability to feel both nostalgic and fresh with a 78% on Metacritic from early 2022 reviews. It’s a short but sharp experience for those craving platforming that tests skill without holding their hand.

Storyline

On the ruins of a great wasteland, 6 Towers were built. Towers are home to each deity - and to those who worship them. Deities are known as interpreters. They are public figures that project themselves through music and dancing. Their personalities are what define how the inhabitants of this land live and act. Each fate, each voice, each dream is tied to the towers, their deities - and the masks.
