DROD: The Second Sky

"The Dark Souls of puzzle games."

"The Second Sky" is a well crafted, incredibly challenging game that will make you rethink how puzzle games are played...
-Jeff Ortloff, Just Press Start

Finishing off a dozen or so rooms to complete a dungeon provides as satisfying an "Aha!" moment as the best puzzle games out there.
-Cameron Wade, Leviathyn

I'm happy that I’ve stumbled upon a game and a developer that is right where it should be and is doing precisely what it's meant to be doing.
-Ozymandias, GamersFTW

The Second Sky is the fifth major title in the DROD series and the climactic chapter in Beethro's adventures in the Great Beneath. This game is the culmination of years of development and evolution of the DROD formula. It is designed as a tremendously rewarding experience for the hardcore gamer. We are making this game especially for those who love puzzles and dungeon delving. It features a plethora of novel game and puzzle elements that you have not seen anywhere else, placed onto a backdrop of a unique and epic story full of peculiar characters and engaging locales.

Guide Beethro Budkin, professional dungeon pest exterminator, as he goes up against the Rooted Empire in a race against time under the looming Grand Event. Beethro is always fond of saying "there is no problem that can't be solved with a really big sword," but he will need to use a variety of fresh new weapons and tactics to win the day this time against a dire threat. You won't believe what's in store!
