Your daughter’s been trapped in a magical locket! To free her in the fast-paced action platformer Rose and Locket, you’ll jump, roll, slide, and shoot through each of the seven deadly sins lurking in the Underwest. As you descend deeper and deeper into this Wild West afterlife, you’ll learn more about your dark and mysterious past—one you’ve fought hard to keep from your daughter. How far will a gunslinging mother go to save her lost child?
What we love: The hand-drawn visuals. Whether you’re falling from Sloth’s tower, sliding through Gluttony’s bowels, or dodging Greed’s attacks on horseback, stylish action sequences and interactive comic book panels present a symphony of sights.
Quick tip: Reloading can leave you vulnerable to an enemy or nearby hazard, but if you switch weapons during reloads, you’ll keep the shots flowing.
Meet the creator: Ryan Forrester and Roger Heal make up the New Zealand–based indie studio Whistling Wizard. Rose and Locket is their debut game.
