Our take on Tomb Joe
Rather than centering on artifact collecting or archaeological simulation, this platformer frames its tomb exploration as a parody adventure, with combat, stealth, and puzzles tied to a search for a missing father.
What is Tomb Joe?
Tomb Joe is a parody platformer about an archaeologist searching for his missing father and the Sceptre of Gods.
A map and medallion point Joe toward the Central American destination of his father’s lost expedition. Along the way, he explores tombs and other environments, solves puzzles, and deals with traps, wildlife, and Reich soldiers. The game allows players to fight enemies or sneak past them. Its story centers on the artifact’s powers and the danger of letting it fall into the wrong hands. Joe carries a whip and uses his wits during the journey.
