Canto I
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Midway upon the journey of our life…
In Canto I, you take control of Dante, the Sommo Poeta, in a small adventure that reimagines the first canto of the Divine Comedy as a videogame. Finding yourself in the Forest Dark, you’ll need to use all abilities at your disposal to traverse it!
Features
- Spread your wings and overcome every obstacle, bounce on magical books, dash through spike traps and defeat helmet-equipped specters!
- Fun pixelart style that will get a laugh out of you even when you’ll fall into a pit (there are lots of them)
- Rebuild the Canto I — Spread around the four levels, scrolls containing the triplets of Canto I hide. Find them all and read the poem in the menu page!
- Different game modes — play Classic mode for an experience without modifiers, Story mode for a relaxed experience or Hell mode for a real challenge!
How to play
- Movement: Arrow keys or WASD.
- Double jump: Up arrow key or W in the air.
- Attack: C, P or Space.
- Dash: X or O.
- Looking down: Hold the down arrow key or S.
Then he moved on, and I behind him followed.
Canto I is a personal, small love letter to the platform genre and to the Divine Comedy. Thank you for reading all the way down here and I hope you’ll enjoy the game, if you wanna try it. Have a wonderful day! :D
