The Prisoning: Fletcher’s Quest

About This Game

After a visit to the psychologist that went horribly wrong you’re trapped in the mind of a game developer on the brink of physical and emotional burnout during the last stages of an intense project. Experience a metroidvania drenched in anxiety based on a very true story.

Help Fletcher Howie Jr. escape his mental prison and save the day!

(* This game is not recommended for anyone with a peanut allergy)

But hey, not down with anxiety? All of these above points can be completely skipped and you can plow your way through another tight roguelike metroidvania with killer mechanics (you can kill basically everything that moves), a banging chipmusic soundtrack (we couldn’t afford real music) and more pixel art than you can stomach!

Frequently Answered Questions

What is this?

• This is a prototype of a game we originally created back in 2020, also known as the best year ever. We decided back then to not make this game but now we’re back more broke and desperate than ever and we’re ready to make this thing a reality. To make sure this game will be a success, we asked three friends of ours and at least one of them was very excited, one didn’t reply and one said we should get real jobs instead and stop calling him.

Is this a procedurally generated metroidvania?

• Honesty is very important to us and when we’re writing this we’re not sure exactly what procedurally generated means. But what we’ve done is that we have a huge amount of different made rooms and each session they randomly appear so every turn is different!

When will this release?

• Next year.
