Plokoth

About

Plokoth is a 2D platformer where you play as Plo, navigating a dense jungle to cure his girlfriend Oth’s mysterious illness. The game blends tight controls with environmental puzzles, as you jump between vines, climb ruins, and avoid hazards in a decaying world. Oth’s ghost follows along, offering hints and reacting to the infected environment, adding a quiet emotional layer to the exploration. The focus is on steady progression through increasingly surreal landscapes, with each area feeling distinct but cohesive. The game stands out for its moody visuals and understated storytelling. With a small but dedicated following, it holds a 78% on Steam with players praising its atmosphere and pacing. A built-in speedrun mode challenges you to top global high scores, adding replayability for competitive players. The jungle setting feels alive with danger and mystery, and the bond between Plo and Oth subtly influences every climb and puzzle. Shorter than most platformers but dense with quiet moments, it leaves an impression without overexplaining.

Storyline

Plo and Oth live together in the jungle of Plokoth. Everything is normal until one day Oth becomes sick. She is infected by a strange disease. So, after she leaves her body behind in a sort of coma state she follows Plo in form of a ghost to find a cure for the disease. As they go into the forest they find it contaminated, too. And as they reach the Plipi tribe they see that it is infected with the disease as well. So they need to go even deeper into the forest to destroy it. Some time passes. And one day, already deep in the jungle, Oth’s spirit becomes weaker and Plo started to lose all hope. And he wonders if he will ever get his girlfriend back.
