About this game
Playtest

About the Game
Parkour on Anything
Boars in Rome is built entirely around freedom of movement. Get creative, combine your moves and traverse any surface with style. Run along and up walls, swing on bars or thin objects, slide, vault and create your own traversal techniques.
The Earth is Just a Resource
You have been selected to start a new life off planet. Earth has been abandoned. Machines keep working and nature claims what remains. Find out what happened while you were frozen in time by exploring the remnants of Rome where historical monuments mix with futurist megastructures.
Momentum Based Movement
Translate high jumps and fast speed into longer slides, bigger swings and better wallruns.
Linear Levels, Open Approaches
There’s no single way forward, the only thing holding you back is your creativity or skill. Take your time and explore, do it fast, or do it with style!
Other Features
Custom map importer.
No invisible walls, go crazy!
Designed for 1st-person and to be motion sick friendly.
No camera or animation locking.
Painterly art style.
Dynamic post-rock soundtrack
Secret move tech?
