Pytheas, a young and talented prospector, on the hunt to retrieve the lost relic of Zaron.


Set forth on this journey of harnessing crystal energies and dramatically punching your way through enemies with empowered attacks. Will you be able to help Pytheas escape with both his life and treasure from this accursed cave?

The Concept

The Prospector is a 3D action and atmospheric narrative game that revolves around crystals and punching.


The players will encounter various types of crystals that can be activated by punching. Each has a unique property and can react with one another. Furthermore, the bigger crystals may even grant Pytheas abilities that he can use to gain an edge in difficult situations.
