A narrative 3D-platformer where you're a freshly-deceased skull bowling through the underworld. Steer, jump, and smash into pins across dark, winding lanes as you rediscover who you were, how you died, and whether that life is worth fighting for.
Bowling Alley AfterlifeCharon, ferryman of the Greek underworld, has traded his boat for a bowling alley, a series of dark, winding lanes where the skulls of the damned are bowled through the ruins of their memories. You wake up as a freshly-deceased skull rolling through the underworld. Steer, jump, and drift across your past as you rediscover who you were, how you died, and whether that life is worth fighting for.
Features3D-Platformer: Roll, jump, and drift through 8 unique lanes! Every lane is ranked on your time, and hitting pins knocks seconds off your timer.
Narrative: Every lane is built from a core memory of a relationship from your past, with flashbacks, dialogue, and everyday objects strewn around that abstractly tell the narrative of what happened and who you were.
Talk to Charon: After each lane, chat with Charon and his buddy Bowley as they bicker and joke about your past and their personal issues. Score S-ranks in lanes to pique Charon's interest in your plight for a second chance at life.
What is Studio Aspen? Charon's Corner is made by Studio Aspen, a mock-AAA, student-run studio with over 70 students participating in the 2025-2026 academic year. This has been our biggest project yet, and we're releasing the finished product for free!
