Overview
Thistlemine is a unique puzzle exploration RPG developed by Thistlebro and published by Fruitbat Factory. Players step into the boots of Noa, a low-ranking excavator tasked with venturing into a dangerous Exclusion Zone. This zone is plagued by a mysterious Miasma that warps time and space, leading to horrific mutations and the slow decay of any remaining life. Driven by rumors of a powerful artifact, many have entered the zone, but none have ever returned. The core gameplay involves navigating a vast, overgrown garden labyrinth, confronting the mutated remnants of past explorers, and facing the formidable guardian known as Anomalis.
