Mandragora is a Metroidvania sidescroller with soulslike elements. The game is set in a world where humanity has surrendered to an army of demonic monsters. Your goal is to journey through this conquered world and take it back from the monsters' tyrannical hands.

Your crusade will not be easy however as you be forced to traverse precarious locales, learn unique classes to upgrade your abilities, challenge towering bosses, and make critical moral decisions that will decide the course of the story. 

Will you be able to survive the challenges of Mandragora and free humanity or will your decisions ultimately lead down a path of destruction? Look forward to the answer to this question when this upcoming Xbox title releases for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam sometime in 2024.
