Join the TeamIn a post-collapse dystopian Earth where bio-mechanical horrors roam the ruins of civilization, you play as Ari—a boy trapped between human emotion and machine logic. Your only weapon is your heart, your mind, and what's left of your humanity.
Corebound is a 2D side-scroller with RPG elements, real-time decisions, and deep exploration. Players fight to uncover the truth about the world, and themselves, navigating brutal enemies and branching storylines with lasting consequences.
Corebound explores the tension between humanity and technology through an emotionally driven narrative. The world is cold, brutal, and haunting—yet your journey is filled with choices that echo with personal and philosophical weight.
