Ghosts of Knowledge
This game was made for the Relic Castle Game Jam # 6
This game also won a Game Jam Spotlight!!! Thank you all so much for playing!!
Seasonal explorers Dust and Zee spelunk their way to the bottom of the sea, expecting to find all sorts of relics and treasures of aquatic nature. However, they instead stumble upon a world that has already ended...
Join them in their whimsical and hopefully non-explosive journey through the streets of a former paradise
by collecting treasures and uncovering the secrets behind its remains!
Who knows what happened down there?

Features
A Different Engine!
This game runs on the french Pokémon Essentials alternative PSDK which boasts a variety of differences in performance, layout, and form. It also allows me to do unique events! A special thanks to the entire PSDK team for helping me get this product out and pointing out how everything works. This was not possible without Nuri Yuri and Rey, who helped me the most with PSDK engine related things by fixing crashes, bugs, and scripts.
The Journey!
- Featuring Dust and her lovely Porygon-Z, they'll traverse their way through the labyrinth in search of gold and knowledge in Generation 4 Graphics with Pokémon available up to Generation 8! The story begins with them entering the ruins through an underwater cave, but the region ends up becoming much more complicated to comprehend over as they go on...
- Lots of strange and impossible events are taking place in this submerged region... How did this all happen, anyway?
- Pokémon that appear in this game are a bit different, some of which are Regional variants unique to the labyrinth! There are tons of balance changes and quality of life fixes that change how some Pokémon are used. Change log in the end of this page, beware the spoilers.
- In addition, Experience Points are boosted to reduce grinding, and every Pokémon in this game has a 50% chance to drop a unique item, and a 5% chance to drop a Nugget. I wonder what they're used for in the underground...
- There are currently two endings to the game, and three unique zones to play through, with a run time of roughly 3-5 hours!
Treasures!
- There are special items known as Treasures littered throughout the region. Collecting them places them as a little trophy at the main campsite!
- Treasures aren't just for show, however. Someone might give you something nice for collecting a ton of treasures...
Challenges!
- At each zone, a very powerful foe will appear. Defeating them not only gives you the ability to move on, but choose exactly which area to unlock first...
Note: (The right door is a bit more difficult as of this Jam release)
- There are more than battles to overcome however... There are places around the region that test your mind rather than your strength!
Secrets!
- Look around each and every part of the region to find rooms that lead into each other, Pokémon to befriend, and items to collect...
