Vertiginous Golf

Vertiginous Golf is a mini golf adventure game developed by Kinelco & Lone Elk Creative.

Setting

The game is set in a dystopian steampunk world where a massive lottery once took place. Half of the society was lucky enough to relocate to a floating city of New Lun-Donne, forgetting about the people left below them, living in smog and pollution. The commoners can temporarily escape the harsh reality by using a Verti-Sphere which serves as an analog of virtual reality. Yet something seems to be a bit off. A mysterious voice tries to break the illusion of peace and create resistance.

Gameplay

The game features 54 mini golf courses set in a dark city of the society's best. After every course, the players complete, a bit of a story is revealed.

The players will encounter courses with hazardous environments or contraptions on them. You will have to carefully estimate where will the golf ball land, but don't be afraid to fail as the game features a time rewind function. However, be careful using it, as it's amount is limited.

The game also features two competitive multiplayer modes which can be played either online or locally. Choose from racing with other players to the finish or fight over the holes in the unique arenas.

An advanced level editor is also bundled with the game. The players are free to share their creations with the community.
