Perilous Prospector is a retro-inspired adventure built in Unreal Engine 4, where you'll navigate deep caverns, collect keys, and dodge dangers along the way. Please remember that this is an unsupported prototype - a bit of fun and a nostalgic nod to classic arcade gaming.

- Pause: P or Pause
- Quit: Alt+F4
- Controller Supported
Collect keys to unlock the elevator to the next level, and make your way through carefully crafted caves full of classic arcade-style fun.
Troubleshooting
- The performance is a little sub-optimal, can I improve the framerate any?
Try setting 'SSGI Mode' to Off in the options. This is a real-time fancy lighting effect that Unreal Engine 4 introduced and can be a little resource-heavy. There are also plenty of options to try in the Options dialogue, but I'd recommend that one first! - The controls feel a bit quirky. It won't pause and time-trials keep selecting themselves!
Make sure Steam isn't running when you start the game. The Steam controller input handling can mess with Unreal Engine 4's inputs. - The keyboard input is so difficult!
Keyboard input can be difficult with the rotating room and the directional movement. It's recommended you play with a controller. A PC, XBOX or PS controller can be used and makes things a lot easier!
