About game
Velim descends into a dark abyss using only a sturdy rope to find his missing sister. You swing across dangerous platforms and drop onto enemies to survive this mysterious roguelike. Precision matters because every fall brings you closer to the heart of the fissure where reality bends. Collecting glowing crystals during your runs allows you to strengthen your gear back at the safe camp. You will confront ten distinct bosses while uncovering fragments of a hidden history scattered throughout the gloom. Each run pushes you further into the shadows where light fades and secrets wait to be found. Four different endings await those brave enough to reach the bottom of the descent. You can play Deep Rope instantly in your browser without any downloads required.
