1-Bit Explorer is an adventure game focused on exploration where you do NOT save the world and the world does NOT need saving.

The point is to explore to your heart's content and uncover mysteries and secrets (or don't, it's up to you, really).

You are the son of Frank, regular citizen of Moneta Village, which is trying to complete his collection of Ancient Coins. Due to a disease, your father needs your help with this apparently mundane task of gathering 3 Ancient Coins. Each one requires you to explore a bit of the village and its habitants. What you might discover is that there are secrets, ghosts, other dimensions, demons and ancient Kings hiding in the corners. It is up to you to discover this mysteries.

The gameplay consists mostly of various puzzles, either being:

Conversational Puzzles:

Talk your way into making some people do as you want. Saying the right things might turn them into useful people for your quests.

Push & Pull Puzzles:

Rocks can be moved around the environment to either unblock a path or to press buttons and special locations, revealing secrets and opening new pathways.

Lever Puzzles:

Levers can be used to unblock paths, either by activating them in a certain order, activating them in a time limit or simply finding your way into them to uncover new shorcuts.

Timing Puzzles:

Some puzzles require you to do tasks in a certain time limit. Be careful with the timer, because it might be the difference between just failing or straight up dying!

Positional Puzzles:

Puzzles might require you to stand on different places in different orders. Be aware of sounds that can indicate a success or failure!

Environmental Sound Puzzles:

Some times you just need to follow your ears. Be aware of your surroundings and seek out the sounds!

Active Combat:

If you are willing to explore, you might fight your way into a battle or two. Make sure to learn the ropes with a helpful weaponsmith!

Explore, explore and explore:

The game is focused on exploration, so make sure to check every corner and talk to everyone! The world is there for you to experience and discover!
