Father is a dark fantasy Metroidvania platformer set in a colorful world inspired by Medieval times. The main character and player is Yugo, a widow who ventures into the dungeon of Eileithyia in search of the legendary Lazarus Pit. The pit is speculated to bring back the dead, an idea that fuels Yugo’s desperate journey. Consumed by his loss, he ignores the warnings of the townspeople, who speak of curses and dangers lurking in the dungeon’s depths. Yugo’s grief blinds him to the dangers ahead, as he believes that if there is even a small chance of seeing his beloved again, it is worth the risk. The game’s pixel art style is balanced with a limited NES color palette. This contrast reflects Yugo’s journey, a mix of despair and fleeting hope.
