Greetings from El Rey

About this game

Greetings from El Rey

A noir 2D/3D platformer where a paranoid detective explores a sealed city through a rotating 2D view, in an obsessive hunt for the mysterious R.

Explore an intricate three-dimensional labyrinth, solve spatial puzzles and master challenging sections, adapting classic platforming mechanics with world rotation. Confront bosses that warp the world outside the playfield, where your weapons are:

  • Movement

  • Timing

  • Spatial Awareness.

A singular, diegetic external layout that interact with gameplay and story, providing context and meaning to every player action.

El Rey has two rules. Entry demands a high price. Once inside, you never get out.

Here Satrapo pursues R., a phantom shaped by discordant stories, navigating eccentric figures, erratic prophecies and above all, a city built on lies.

Greetings from El Rey is a paranoid tale about desire, always shifting and reshaping the protagonist’s point of view. It is a psychedelic noir questioning the very possibility of meaning and what it costs to keep looking for it.
