About This Game

Lemeza is a whip-wielding adventurer in the mold of Indiana Jones, exploring the ancient ruins buried within La-Mulana. The game offers one true ending but no fixed path to reach it: power-ups unlock new areas in the nonlinear fashion of Super Metroid, and nothing in the sprawling tomb points clearly toward what to do next. Many of La-Mulana's mysteries demand careful experimentation and persistence to untangle.
