Development

Development of Towards The Pantheon began in 2016 when lead developer Connor O.R.T. Linning set out to create an RPG that incorporated elements of adventure and horror genres. Soon afterwards Leandro Tokarevski joined in to create the pixel art using a palette of only 16 colors resulting in a vibrant and distinct world full of charm. Towards The Pantheon is the result of big dreams and two grueling years of hard work. In October of 2017 the prequel game Towards The Pantheon: Escaping Eternity was released for free on Steam to great reception.
