The Fountain of Youth was hidden away. Nonetheless, it is fated that a Usurper will slay the Ageless and unearth it once more.
FOUNTAINS is an action-RPG about fighting your way through a maze-like interconnected world. You'll take the role of a hooded stranger, recently imprisoned by a tyrannical regime. Will you escape and uncover the mysteries of this war-torn empire?
- Master tight, high-skilled combat and defeat punishing bosses against all odds
- Find new abilities and tools to help you to defend yourself and to traverse the world
- Meet many strange characters, both hostile and friendly
- Secrets are everywhere, so always keep an eye out!

Just dug up my account to say that I loved the demo! I stayed up waay late because I could not stop playing, beat the bosses and I want to come back to it today again. Haven't felt this way in quite a long time. Great job! How can I throw money at you to make sure the full game comes out?
The Kickstarter has ended and there's no option to pre-order the game yet, but if you still want to support the game's development there's an option to tip through Itch.io from the download page.
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
cool arcade
This game looks so good, hopefully I can back it before the Kickstarter ends. Good luck with everything.
That would be amazing, I hope so too! Just announced a stretch goal for a Nintendo Switch port of the game today.
Will the full game be released on Itch.io ?
Yes, if funded, the game will be both on Steam, and DRM-free on Itch
Man, this game is just awesome, specially for a dark souls fan like me :D
That's who it's made for! Glad you like it
Really like the combat of this, took awhile to get use to dodging. Only thing is there doesnt seem like any i frames after getting hit which was annoying. This made it so all my health can get lost in a stun attack with a bull or two flys.
Oh yeah, they can definitely stun lock you if you get caught in the middle. Maybe you're right, there should be a bit of invincibility after getting hit-stunned.
Edit: This feature has been added!
Wow this game is awesome. Movements are so smooth..
I've just sent you a message thru twitter:) plz check.
I will try thiiis! It looks great!
