A new project by Poq
Created using Pokémon Essentials​

Overview

Enter the twisting tunnels of an underground labyrinth in search of a legendary artefact. But proceed with caution, this maze is filled with aggressive Pokémon, a mysterious cult, and an oppressive darkness that seems to have a vengeful will driving it. You'll need to manage your resources carefully and built a team capable of navigating the obstacles of these caves, but if you prevail, you just might uncover the deepest secrets hidden within these shadows.

It's been a while since I updated this - work on the project has been gradual. Hopefully I'll have more to share soon, but for now, here's a preview of the second stage for each of the starters:
