About This Game



Six friends embark on a weekend getaway only to find a mountain with an ancient secret. Can they escape its clutches? Pryzm is a survival adventure mystery presented in a hand drawn pixel art comic book / visual novel hybrid. Players have to manage the characters, maintain a special resource, and weigh their choices in order to make it out alive. NOT EVERYONE WILL SURVIVE in each playthrough.



It also features turn-based combat and elements that change with each new game.



Each normal run usually lasts between 1 to 2 hours and is encouraged to be completed in one sitting for the best rank. Mistakes can be recovered with a good plan, but game overs are very likely. There are features after a game over that allow players of all skill levels to improve their runs, learn the lore, and figure out how to manipulate resources and time to their advantage. Skilled players can challenge the end game via the online leaderboard speedruns that rank the best no-continue runs. Find the fastest strategy for each leaderboard!

Main Features:
  • Concise 1+ hour experience per run at average reading speed
  • Approachable turn-based combat that hinges on risk and reward
  • Escape parameters that change with each new run
  • Multiple endings depending on performance and uncovered secrets
  • Rank system for endings
  • Online speedrun leaderboards
  • Can be played with just the mouse

Check out the community hub news section to find out more details about the various aspects of the game.

WARNING:

While Pryzm contains themes of the supernatural and horror, THERE ARE NO JUMP SCARES OR OUTRIGHT DISTURBING IMAGERY. The main FEAR comes from having only ONE auto save while wondering if the next decision might end up spiraling a run towards an unrecoverable GAME OVER.

This is a very interesting interactive fiction game that really balances the game mechanics and narrative well. The fact that the game has a leaderboard and encourages competitive play should be a clue that it is much different from other interactive fiction games. There is no tutorial, but figuring out and mastering the game's system is really engaging. I need to play through it a second time to really wrap my head around the game's structure.

A very NICE game I must say.Although I made the ending ranking B(I guess it's the worst ending XD) (the last monster is too hard to fight and my clarity became ZERO),and I almost know nothing about what indeed happened in this ending. But I have to say,the weird atmosphere created by the bgm and storyboards made me lost in it!!! I LOVE THIS GAME! At least it's better than THE HORROR WORLD(It made me quite disappointed). Anyway,I will try to achieve other better endings tomorrow.Hope the answer of the riddle story can make me surprised. :) Love from China.

A very interesting visual novel style game, didn't watch any previews of it so wasn't expecting an actual combat system. I like the build up and the flow of the story, and the pixel art is very nicely drawn, must have taken many hours to create. I think the transitions can be sped up or made skippable to save time going through the game. Also, I'm not sure but it doesn't seem to have a save state / save game option, so it's a bit hard for players to play it through in one sitting. Fortunately I have an ample block of time to get through a complete run through. It takes about 2 hours for a casual play through. Worth the buy!

Here's a few notes: I was quickly captivated by the short story and atmosphere. I've yet to determine the truth of everything that's going on, so expect it will take multiple playthroughs to hopefully uncover and make sense of everything. I finished the game on my first try in a little under 2.4 hours, so it's short enough to be completed in a sitting, but it looks like there will be plenty of replayability with the amount of choices I faced. I've yet to see just how much variation and story there will be, however... I'm under the impression there should be a good amount. (Will try to update this when I replay and complete everything.) As for the choices, they were basically flipping a coin at times (like choosing left or right, or different paths), and I don't know if I got lucky, or if there's randomness involved. I don't want to spoil anything, but do expect to be clueless a fair amount of your first playthrough. (I was even a bit confused partially with how things ended for...
