Medium-naut

About

Medium-naut is a fast-paced 2D action game with a sci-fi horror twist. You control a character navigating claustrophobic, shifting environments filled with hostile creatures and environmental hazards. Combat is twitchy and direct, balancing dodges, melee strikes, and limited ranged weapons. The game’s structure leans into exploration and pattern recognition, with a focus on platforming and backtracking through procedurally altered spaces. Takumi Naramura’s signature design flourishes shine through in the tight controls and punishing difficulty. Known for the La-Mulana series, Naramura brings his expertise in maze-like level design to this solo project. Medium-naut stands out for its atmospheric tension and the way it merges action with puzzle-solving under pressure. It launched in late 2021 with mixed reception but has gained a small following among fans of challenging indie action titles.
