Nuckelavee

About this game

Nuckelavee is an abstract, indie horror game based on Scottish folklore, history and the Gaelic language. You must find ancient artifacts scattered across a procedurally generated island and remove the curse placed upon them.

Explore the island, find books, notes, music and artifacts left behind, they may help you in your task or tell you a story.

Solve the puzzle that locks in the curse. Do not allow them to be tainted again!

Evade! You may not have many weapons in your arsenal. Avoid Nuckelavee at all costs!

The game does not currently support saving progress, it is intended to be played as each play is a new run. This may change as player feedback indicate they want it.
