Pale Cage

Pale Cage is an atmospheric indie platformer with a monochrome palette about a tiny glowing hero trying to escape a dark void by jumping from platform to platform over an endless abyss. It features one-finger controls, a meditative pace, and cinematic lighting in the style of Limbo / Inside / Playdead.

The Hero
A tiny glowing wisp in a pitch-black void. He glows with a warm white halo, helping him see his way. He is protected by a fragile shield—if you fall into the abyss, the shield might not break, but you'll be lost in eternity.
