Experience a first glimpse into the world of Pentaquin


The world is falling to pieces

The world of Pentaquin is changing: The Creator God has split his mind into five aspects, sealing the main source of energy of all magic and technologies based on it. Nothing is working the way it used to. In the shadows of the twilight new and to some extent fanatical magic circles form and dangerous civil wars start to burgeon.

The game’s soundtrack

A musical outlook on the gaming experience

An atmospheric background music that matches the spirit of the game is crucial to us. That’s why we’re very proud of our Pentaquin soundtrack which emphasizes the gameplay and storyline using orchestral and atmospheric soundscapes giving the 2D platformer a thrilling touch. It’s more than worth listening to: Our piece ” Traces Of The Past” has already been released on the ‘Game On NRW – The Sounds’ compilation Vol. 2 thus appearing on vinyl!

The Game World & Story

Since the split, when the spirit of the Creator God was divided into five individuals, humanity faces a great challenge. The Arcana magic is fading – and the technology powered by it is gradually failing. The Ter’ozar people fall into a bloody civil war. Followers of the newborn Aspect Gods carry their personal views and goals all over the world. Many people are simply trying to survive in these hard times.

In Pentaquin: Deeds Of Twilight you slip into the role of the son of a convinced magician from the circle of light. The Light Circle has set itself the goal of freeing people from everything that could oppress them in any way. Your sister wants to continue her father’s work after his death and free people at all costs – whether it is in their interest or not. She sets out and tries to purify the world by force of arms. In order to protect his family from the impending disaster of losing another member, the brother sets off. He follows the trail of chaos left behind by his sister.

Five learnable skills

Master your magic

In the fractured crumbling world of Pentaquin there is only one way to survive: using your skills deftly. The Arcana magic is fading – you have to adapt and learn new spells to survive against all evils.

A dangerous structure

Five self-sufficient aspects have formed within the consciousness of the Creator God, each pursuing different goals to bring order to the world. In doing so, they tear at the sanity of the Creator God. To protect the world from his impending madness he split up his soul into five new gods.

Now his aspects no longer threaten his mind but world balance instead. The new divine beings are trying to gain supporters in cultists form magic circles while terrorizing non-believers or those of other faiths. To make matters worse, once controllable elementals become feral and a constant danger to the people.

Your journey through a shattered world

On your journey, you will get to know different areas of the Pentaquin Universe – a mystical world put to the test by the consequences of the creator god dividing his soul. The planet Pentaquin, orbited by five moons, holds plenty of secrets and dangerous enemies. Travel to ruined regions and fallen cities like the former metropolis of Terovania and embark on a journey following the footsteps of your missing sister through a path of devastation to at least restore peace within your own family in a world sinking into war.

A tricky family drama

Five self-sufficient aspects had formed within the mind of the creator god, each pursuing different goals for the world order. In doing so they put the mind of the Creator God to a hard test. To protect the world from his impending insanity he had split up his soul into five new gods.

As a result not even your own family is spared anger and grief: the father has died and the mother is sinking into depression. The daughter has fallen for the obscure ideology of her father and joins the fanatical circle of light. You must find them and bring them to their senses in order to reunite your family in these difficult times.
