Canyon

You are a lizard, trapped in a canyon. Your only hope is to hunt, eat, and help raise your new family so that eventually you evolve the skills needed to escape. You will guide your children away from dangers and towards the food so they can grow and allow you to evolve. A casual game with exploration, collectibles and hunting.

A game created by two friends, inspired by games like Shelter with a goal to achieve our first game release. This game is about a life of an animal that is not often shown in games too often. A lizard, a mix of several inspirations from various species, mainly a monitor lizard. Additionally, it portrays the parenting aspect of the struggle of preparing your children to survive on their own.

With the soundtrack composed and made by talented Charbel Ghanem.Game Start

Weaving between rocks, scrambling through the grass. The bird is a danger to you and you are food to it, the rock next to you talon marked. You reach the cave, the bird hisses and flies away. In the cave, you stay, soundless and motionless. The night turns to a day, you leave, yearning for food yourself. Once outside, with the illusion of safety, the vulture has played a trick. It waited too. A chase resumed, only one direction valid, away. Too slow, too close, yet far enough. Bird strike makes you get air, and fall, into the canyon.Raise your children

Lay eggs and start your own family, have them follow you everywhere, and guide them to food, and away from danger as they grow and help secure their future in the most vulnerable part of their life.Hunt and eat
