Our take on Tamarin
Its defining structure combines third-person shooting with agile primate platforming across an interconnected Nordic wilderness.
What is Tamarin?
Tamarin is a third-person action-adventure game about a monkey fighting an insect invasion to protect its family.
Exploration, 3D platforming and shooting are combined in an interconnected world of forests, fjords and mountains. Players leap through the Northern wilderness, pursue electrical fireflies, find an underground area where ants dance, and rescue birds. The journey also involves restoring the tamarins’ natural habitat after pollution and destruction caused by the insects. Its structure moves between scenic routes, platforming challenges and combat against bugs.
