Rootbound is a physics-based action adventure where you play as a plantling equipped with a sentient backpack on a quest to save your home from mysterious blight by exploring a broken world filled with puzzles, monsters, and ancient secrets.
In Rootbound you explore the handcrafted island of Akara discovering what happened to the ancient civilization while using their lost technology to solve puzzles for powerful weapons and upgrades. Your living backpack companion collects and tosses items when needed though enemies may target it specifically, while crystals scattered everywhere build campfires for resting and torches that illuminate darkness with rumored magical powers.
Traveling through night unprotected brings dangerous rain that spreads the blight, with only torch and campfire light providing protection from its touch as you encounter enemies and mysterious characters who’ve found ways to endure.
