Rope swing down an endless wishing well. A physics-driven action roguelite built for precision, improvisation and movement bliss.
Free demo on Steam now·Steam Next Fest, Oct 19–26·Out December 25, 2026
Wishknot is a physics-driven action roguelite set inside an endless wishing well. Swing through caverns, turn enemies into anchors, and redirect your momentum with thrust. Tow an anvil into a fight, snare a hostile creature, or release at just the right moment to launch yourself past danger.
The well changes with every descent. Explore strange procedural biomes, break open new routes, and face bosses hidden in the depths. Collect stars, combine enchantments, and adapt to curses that change how your run unfolds.
Scattered through the dark are secrets, wishes, and lost characters waiting to be found. Reach them, tow them home, and unlock new abilities for future descents.
Build speed through clean arcs, preserve it with precise releases, and spend it on a devastating impact. Anything caught on your rope can become a weapon, an obstacle, or your next anchor.
Slip past enemies quietly or make an entrance that brings the cavern down on you. Noise draws attention, and enemies can merge into larger threats. Every encounter gives you another reason to improvise.
Swing, anchor, tow, snare, sling, and crush.
Open routes and turn the environment into part of your attack.
Physics-driven encounters shaped by mass, tension, collisions, and terrain.
Combine enchantments across rope, thrust, health, and time.
Discover new powers and adapt to dangerous changes.
Give yourself time to react or rethink your approach.
Precision movement with your controls close at hand.
Export MP4s and GIFs of your best escapes and most spectacular disasters.
Wishknot is made by Guck, an independent studio. If you play the demo, we'd love to hear what the rope did for you, especially the moments it surprised you.
