The Rusted is an atmospheric 2D action-platformer set among the remnants of a rusted world after humanity’s extinction. Players take control of a once-loyal robot dog, embarking on a dangerous journey through abandoned cities, crumbling factories, sand-buried deserts, and colossal data centers. With every step, you face the silent traces of humanity’s downfall and the threat of corrupted machines that roam the ruins.
The Rusted offers players both a mechanically rich platforming experience and a deeply emotional atmosphere. Each region is filled with hidden details and powerful visual storytelling. The entire game is hand-drawn, brought to life with vibrant backgrounds and carefully crafted animations.
EXPLORE
Test your reflexes and platforming skills as you traverse unique, decaying environments. Every stage features its own design, new dangers, and distinct atmospheres waiting to be discovered.

Surviving in a world overrun by corrupted machines is no easy task. Use your agility and abilities to dodge, fight, and push forward against a variety of enemies with different behaviors. Every encounter demands both precision and focus.
A SILENT AND DEEP STORY
The Rusted speaks through its world rather than words. Decayed structures and forgotten lands tell a fragmented story about the end of humanity. Each environment carries echoes of the past, slowly helping you piece together the meaning behind it all as you progress.
Every character, environment, and effect is drawn by hand. This art style gives The Rusted’s dark yet captivating world a timeless aesthetic and emotional depth. Each scene is filled with meticulously crafted backgrounds that create unique and memorable experiences.
